Essex, kingdom of Essex was formed in the 6th cent. by Saxon settlers. The ruling dynasty claimed descent from an obscure Saxon deity, Seaxneat. In the early 7th cent. London was regarded as part of the kingdom. Final conversion to Christianity took place in the 650s under Bishop Cedd from Northumbria. After Cedd's death episcopal authority passed to the bishop of London though political control of the city rested in other hands. Indeed, while retaining its own kings until the 9th cent., Essex played a minor role. When dominance passed to the West Saxons after their victories over the Mercians in 825 and 829, the subordinate role of Essex was further emphasized, and from that point onwards it was governed by
ealdormen not by kings. The boundary drawn up by
Alfred and the Danes after 878 left Essex in the
Danelaw, though there is no evidence of Danish settlement in depth. Essex was reabsorbed into the English kingdom in the early 10th cent.
