Mercian Supremacy
Period of history when the kingdom of Mercia dominated in England
Mercian Supremacy
The First Mercian Supremacy was the period of Anglo-Saxon history between c. 716 and c. 825, when the kingdom of Mercia dominated the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy in what later became England. Historian Sir Frank Stenton apparently coined the phrase, arguing that Offa of Mercia, who ruled 757–796, effectively achieved the unification of the Anglo Saxon lands, south of Yorkshire. Scholastic opinion on the relationship between the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia at this time remains divided.
