List of monarchs of East Anglia

East Anglia briefly recovered its independence after the death of Offa of Mercia in 796, but Mercian hegemony was soon restored by his successor, Coenwulf.

In 869 a Danish army defeated and killed the last native East Anglian king, Edmund the Martyr.

[3] The kingdom then fell into the hands of the Danes and eventually formed part of the Danelaw.

Many of the regnal dates of the East Anglian kings are considered unreliable, often being based upon computations.

Some dates have presented particular problems for scholars: for instance, during the three-year-long period of apostasy that followed the murder of Eorpwald, when it is not known whether any king ruled the East Angles.
