MERCIA Mercia, from the Old English 'Mierce' - People of the Marches (Boundaries), developed from settlements in the upper and middle Trent valley. Mercia's influence probably reached its zenith during the reign of Offa in the latter half of the 8th century. Wessex became the dominant power after decisively defeating the Mercians in 825. Later in the 9th century, Mercia was conquered by the Danes. The country was partitioned - the western half remained in Anglo-Saxon hands, whilst the eastern half was settled by the Danes. The west accepted the overlordship of Alfred 'the Great' , king of Wessex. Mercia was never again an independent kingdom. Early Mercian history is very obscure. Roger of Wendover boldly states: "In the year of grace 585, began the kingdom of the Mercians, whose first king was Credda (Creoda) ." However, Felix (fl.713x749), author of the 'Life of St.Guthlac', regarded Icel (Creoda's great-grandfather, and himself great-grandson of a continental Angle king) as founder of the dynasty. At any rate, nothing is known of any Mercian ruler until one Cearl, who receives a passing mention from Bede as the father-in-law of the exiled future king of Northumbria

Click the image to enlarge. Aerial photography has highlighted its distinct profile, both as a crop mark and a surviving above-ground feature, and its line is at its most striking where it links the two major border towns of the region, Oswestry and Wrexham. Here it follows a distinct hedge-line course through a rural landscape that has remained largely unaltered for centuries. Given its frontier role, it is not surprisingly to learn that the dyke bears all the hallmarks of the work of a man trained in the military manner. But recent archaeological-based evidence has given rise to new speculation on its possible political genesis. This is a radical and inevitably controversial new reading of the background, because it suggests that the earthwork was built 300 years earlier than previously thought. This would mean that the dyke was constructed in the post-Roman turmoil of the mid 5

Home About News FAQ ... People Nationality and Kingship in Pre-Norman Ireland Source: T. W. Moody, In undertaking to discuss nationality in pre-Norman Ireland I am well aware that I am laying myself open to objection on a number of counts not least perhaps being that of excessive revisionism. Twice in this century the question of the existence or non-existence of a pre-Norman Irish nation has been a matter for public debate, a debate which has left its marks as much on Irish historiography as on political pamphleteering past and present. It has been charged that the romantic historians of the nineteenth century saw a nation and nationality where there was none and this charge is generally regarded as proven. However, this does not close the debate nor does it dispense the historian of today from the duty of giving critical consideration to those elements of nationality present in the society which was evolving in Ireland in the century or two preceding the Norman attack. Since most if not all these elements expressed themselves in monarchic guise, discussion of them cannot be divorced from a consideration of kingship and Irish political institutions. He rightly rejects the symmetrical pyramid structure of political authority depicted in the Book of Rights and similar texts. In his view, the

Conquest AD 47: Eastern Wales , or Kingdom of Cambria, was conquered by the Romans. It was a client-kingdom at first, but thirty years later in AD 77 became a Roman province. Western Wales , or Kingdom of Aberffraw, was conquered by the Romans. After a period of martial-law the former kingdom was converted into a special district which was governed directly by a Roman consular, and oddly never became a Roman province. B. The Roman Era Roman Wales was divided into cantrefs. A "cantref" was a unit comprised of more than one "commote". A "commote" was the equivalent to the Anglo-Saxon "hide" = 100 dwellings or hamlets. The local rulers of the cantrefs were usually native Welsh tribal elders. C. Chronology Yr 78?: St. Cyllin , a British prince [son of British hero-king Caratacus], was granted the estate of Ewyas and is reckoned its first king.

OAS_AD('Top'); This is part 3 of a collection of 52 messages (a thread) saved from the now defunct FidoNet National Genealogical Echo between Jim Curran and myself, as well as a number of others discussing Irish/Celtic heritage and history, posted to the echo between July, 1992 and July, 1993, in four parts. Last updated June 11, 2001 (added another 2 messages that I found stored in a zipped file on my hard drive as an epilogue of sorts). The immediate result of Sarsfield's defeat was the escape of virtually all Irish fighting men who hadn't been killed from the country. They were the "Wild Geese." They went to every court in Europe from Spain to Russia and provided anyone fighting the English some of the most proficient soldiers ever. An example: The Irish Brigade which fought under the French flag with incredible distinction for over a century. These men, in genral, adopted their new lands and became powers within the country. How about that good French name Hennessey Cognac? But the exiles didn't limit themselves to Europe nor did the outflow stop in one generation. It continued for well more than a century and each succeeding generation of Irish lent their fighting skills to their host countries, not the least being the countries of South America in their own rebellions. For instance, an Irishman was admiral (can't remember his name right now) of the Argentinian navy (see below). You will find some of the damnedest names in S. Am., Pablo Miguel Murphy or some such. All from the same source: Irish exiles.
