To Ranika.
What you said about Mercia and Northumbria is fine, but uh, I'm talking about the Kingdom of the Englisc whose first king was Alfred the great, Wales would never of been able to push this kingdom around. The only people that did were the latter Vikings and that only lasted a generation. As for Englands wealth, its coffers were huge, The Englisc kingdom (thats right, not the saxon, jutish or anglian kingdoms, the Englisc kingdom) was a wealthy .

As for the names its Thegn not Theng, haha, man that sounds funny, Theng, Thang, Thing.
