A superb hand-drawn map of Britain at the time of the Anglo-Saxons, showing the seven kingdoms known as the Heptarchy, and their banners.
My Anglo-Saxon map shows England and Wales from the first migrations of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes around 450 AD, to the Viking invasions c.800 AD. Major towns of the time and regional kingdoms are shown, and the map is decorated with the arms of the Heptarchy: East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, and Wessex.
The original was hand-drawn in 2020 using dip-pens and ink, and the map was updated in 2023 to include over 40 battle locations and more.
This map makes a fabulous gift for anyone interested in medieval or early British history, Vikings, or Anglo-Saxons.
