\u00a0History<\/h3>\n

The Kingdom of East Anglia (i.e.,\u00a0\u0112ast Engla R\u012bce<\/em>)\u00a0was also known as the Kingdom of East Angles. Prior to the arrival of the Angles, the territory was known as Caer Went and was inhabited by descendants of the Iceni tribes. Engineering efforts in the region were neglected following the Roman departure, and much of the drained fens had been reclaimed by marsh. This isolated Ely and other islands in the contested Fens area, i.e., between East and Middil Engle.<\/p>\n

\"East<\/a><\/p>\n

By the mid-500s, the Anglian hold on the region was likely complete. The area was divided into halves, e.g., North Folk, South Folk. The rising House of Wuffingas appeared near Rendlesham and the River Ufford, probably named for the early Anglo-Saxon dynasty.<\/p>\n
