IF ANYONE CAN FIND OUT THE ??? queries i would be thankful. -- Fonzy
Can someone please explain the discrepancy with this patronymic CENFVSING? Who was CENFVS? Æscwine's father was OFFA according to the genealogies. Cenfus seems a far cry from Offa. Shouldn't his patronymic be OFFING or OFFAING? Æscing ( talk) 08:57, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I can only find a few (often leading back to Wikipedia) references to this king being called Saelred. It seems much more widely accepted (eg in the DNB) for him to be known as Selered. I can also find no source for the assertion that he is known as Swebert. Can someone enlighten me please?-- Silver149 16:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Yorkshirian recently added this new version of an old map to this article; it was removed by Deacon of Pndapetzim and re-added by Yorkshirian. I'd like to replace it with this map instead, which doesn't use boundaries. The changes were made to several articles, so to centralize discussion, please post at Talk:Mercia#Map if you have an opinion. Mike Christie (talk) 02:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
File:Flag of Essex.svg is the current logo of the Essex council. It is a complete anachronism in this article. If there is any reference to a flag used by the kings of Essex in the Anglo-Saxon period, let's see it.
Half a minute of googling provides me with a plausible scenario:
The Anglo-Saxon kings didn't use flags in the modern sense. There were "standards" such as the one found in the Sutton Hoo burial, but these were closer to tribal totems than to heraldry. -- dab (𒁳) 09:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Under origins perhaps put in Woden from Sceaf(Japeth) from Noah to inform the non-specialist of the commonality that exists between most European nations through the sons of Noah (Shem, Ham & Japeth)?

For the moment I have removed the Kings graphic which largely duplicates the existing links to other heptarchy articles. Also, its placement caused the layout to look ugly (IMO). Rjm at sleepers ( talk) 07:24, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
