2 The Saxon Heptarchy (circa. 500-850 AD ) divided the land we now refer to as England into seven independent king- doms each with their own traditions, culture, language and identity. The vast king- dom of Northumbria (the lands north of the River Humber) stretched from Yorkshire to the Scottish borders and beyond. To the south lay Mercia, a Saxon superpower compared by its kings to the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne. In the east, the region of East Anglia retains the name of its for- mer kingdom to this day; and along the south coast emerged Wessex, the king- dom of Alfred the Great. But it would be the smaller king- doms of Essex, Sussex and Kent that, centred on Lon- don, would come to define the idea of England as a nation. Successive rulers from the Norman invaders through to the present day have at- tempted to unify these once separate kingdoms, and though largely successful, echoes of the past remain. Ancient languages live on in rich and varied regional dia- lects. Rivalries between lost kingdoms survive in the form A Puritan and political agita- tor, John Lilburne was one of the most influential pam- phleteers of the English Civil War and Commonwealth. Imprisoned in the 1630s for smuggling Puritan pamphlets into England, by the late 1640s Lilburne had become a leading figure for the Level- ler movement that had swept through the Parliamentary New Model Army. The sub- sequent struggle between Parliament and the Army led to the Second Civil War. Like Edward Coke, Lilburne interpreted the Magna Carta to apply equally to all men and, remarkably for the time, women. When Parliament formally banned political discussions, Lilburne and other leading Levellers responded with a two pamphlet, ‘ England’s New Chains ’ that lambasted the new English Republic. Despite frequent imprison- ment, Lilburne produced a stream of pamphlets defend- ing, what he referred to as, ‘freeborn rights’ - the basic human rights all men are born with. As a result of numerous trials during which he call upon these freeborn rights, his support- ers gave him the title ‘Freeborn John’. With an astounding knowl- edge of the law, Lilburne took delight in defending himself, employing Habeas Corpus - the right to a fair trial - more often than any- one in history. Lilburne’s ‘freeborn rights’, along with Habeas Corpus remain key- stones of the English legal system to this day. August 2014 Issue II of pride for local sports teams.

Though culturally ever present, a regional sense of self is be- ginning to be expressed on the political stage. This is not only true in Cornwall where many people, includ- ing the regionalist party Me- byon Kernow, have distin- guished themselves from being English. This sense of regional reawakening is oc- curring in parts of the coun- try that have traditionally and continue to define them- selves as English, nowhere more so that in Yorkshire and the North East. The concept of Englishness remains allusive, not because England lacks a national identity, but because Eng- land is and always has been a country of many nations. - by THE GENTLEMAN THE ANGLO-SAXON KINGDOMS, 800 AD “England... a country of many nations. ” The Levellers were a political group following the First English Civil War. Most prominent in the New Model Army, The Levellers, as the name suggests, wanted social distinctions removed and English society to be levelled. Through pamphlets such as ‘ An Agreement of the People ’ they demanded personal and religious freedoms that were hotly discussed at the 1647 Putney Debates to decide a new English constitution.
