A Table describing the seuen kingdoms of the Saxons, raigning here in England.
IN the time of Vortiger above mentioned, began the reign of the Saxons in this land, the which coming out of 3. sorts of the German people (to wit) the Saxons, the Intes and Angles, replenished the land, of them called now Anglia. Of whom first Hengistus reigned in Kent, which country of Kent he had obtained by Rowen his daughter, of king Vortiger, which was about the year of our Lord as some do count, 476. or as I find in the computation of our English Tables, 456. in some, 463. After Hengist, came in Octha, with Eosa, or Ice his kinsman: who afterward succeeded the said Hengist in Kent. Not long after came in an other company of the Saxons, with Ell their Captain, which planted themselves in Southsexe. And after them again an other garrison of the Saxons with Cerdice their Captain, which did occupy the West part of the land, called by them Westsaxon. And so likewise the other multitude of the Saxons after them, which as yet being unchristened and Infidels, divided the whole land among themselves into vij. kingdoms, as in this Table followeth.
