This period in England has been described as the Heptarchy, though this term has now fallen out of academic use.
The word had arisen on the basis that the seven kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, Kent, East Anglia, Essex, Sussex and Wessex were the main polities of south Britain.
Other small kingdoms are also politically important across this period: Hwicce, Magonsaete, Lindsey and Middle Anglia.
