@caitlinrgreen Fabulous. But no RHeged. No one talks much about Roman provinces and the Heptarchy but surely they were relevant?
@PCOwen_a I think they probably were, at least in the recorded imperiums----Nick Higham wrote about them in 1995 in English Empire :)
@caitlinrgreen I have a theory: Using the word "Heptarchy" will summon Tom Holland, he's very fond of that word. *waits*
@MariusHollenga Hah! An interesting theory.... :)
@caitlinrgreen is that showing a non-conquered Cornwall or is it part of Wessex? I thought it wasn't subjugated until the late 10th century.
