I think that, when Kent stopped being an independent
kingdom and got absorbed by one of the others,
it became part of Wessex, not Mercia.

But then at one stage all of London north of the river (as it is now),
as well as Hertfordshire, was in the Kingdom of Essex. Frankly,
I found that state of affairs far more satisfying.

Of course, more Essex girls.
