Check your diplomatic status, it likely your only allied with one of them now.
Lugh - you must be psyhcic!! I checked my allies - I am with the Saxons, but not the Mercians . The Mercians were beseiging the Saxons capital, I attacked, as did the Saxons, resulting in the Mercians retreating. My forces were moved back to Gwent and I got a message saying I had helped raise the seige and the Saxons were very appreciative - don't send thanks, how about a few Huscarls!! - As the Northunbrians attacked the Mercians as well, it looks like open season on Brummies.

Also, for some reason, the Welsh, who only have Cornwall now, attacked the Saxons in Devon, so I might go and help my Saxon chums down there.
