Overview

The Kingdom of the East Angles (/ˈæŋ.ɡli.ə/; Old English: Ēastengla Rīċe; Latin: Regnum Orientalium Anglorum), informally known as the Kingdom of East Anglia or East Anglia, was an early medieval English kingdom of the Angles during the Anglo-Saxon period, existing from the 6th century to 918 CE. It comprised the territory which now constitutes the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk and perhaps the eastern part of the Fens; the area is still known as East Anglia.
