Before the eleventh century, small early folk communities thrived in England, showcasing their development and sophistication. These communities had a deep connection with their local areas, which for England during the early medieval period took the form of territorial entities ranging from large kingdoms to small districts known as pagi or regiones. This captivating book delves into these early folk territories and explores how they transformed into the administrative units documented in Domesday, spanning an entire kingdom, namely the East Saxons. A diverse array of evidence, including archaeology, written documents, place-names, and early cartographic sources, is employed to shed light on these historical landscapes. The book specifically focuses on the relationship between Saxon immigrants and the native British population, highlighting how these ethnic groups initially occupied distinct parts of the landscape. However, a dynasty that embraced an Anglo-Saxon identity eventually rose to political prominence, its members including the renowned Prittlewell Prince, buried with magnificent grave goods in Prittlewell, near Southend-on-Sea in southern Essex. Other significant places discussed in the book include London, the seat of the first East Saxon bishopric, the potential royal vills at Wicken Bonhunt near Saffron Walden and Maldon, and St. Peter's Chapel at Bradwell-on-Sea, one of the most remarkable surviving churches from the early Christian period. This comprehensive exploration provides valuable insights into the evolution of small early folk communities and their intricate relationships with the broader political and cultural landscape of early medieval England.
