Description: MAP OF ANGLO-SAXON BRITANNIAby Manuscript Maps New Second Edition This superb hand-drawn map shows Britannia at the time of the Anglo-Saxons, from c. 450 AD, through the emergence of the ‘Heptarchy’ in the sixth and seventh centuries, until around 800 AD when Viking raids became Viking invasions, entirely changing the landscape. The map shows the major cities and towns of the time, and includes the arms of the seven kingdoms of the Heptarchy: East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, and Wessex. Originally drawn in 2020, the second edition was updated in 2023 to add over 40 known and possible battle locations from 450-840 AD, as well as twelve new settlements, Hadrian’s Wall, Offa’s and Wat’s Dykes, more sub-kingdom and region names, and more decoration. The arms of Wessex were also changed to a wyvern. The Romans called the lands of what is now England and Wales ‘Britannia’. After the fall of the Roman Empire, migrations of Germanic peoples in the fifth and sixth centuries into Britannia eventually became established kingdoms through peace and war. Native Britons were either incorporated into the new Anglo-Saxon culture, or pushed into the peripheries of Wales, Cornwall, Cumbria, and the Scottish lowlands. Many of these smaller kingdoms nevertheless endured, and are also shown on this map. This map makes a fabulous gift for anyone interested in medieval or early British history, Vikings, or Anglo-Saxons. This map is also the same size and layout as my Roman Britain Map, which you'll find in my other listings. They make a great pair! This map is also available with a mount (mat-board).
