During the [[Viking expansion]] in the late 9th century, a large portion of Mercia came under the domination of the [[Vikings]] which ultimately to the establishment of [[Danelaw]] that included [[East Anglia]].

			It was later absorbed by [[Wessex]] before being united into the [[Kingdom of England]].

			==History==
			===Pre-Viking expansion===
			Mercia was founded with the merger of various Anglo-Saxon tribes in the early 6th century, with most sources citing its first king as {{Wiki\|Icel of Mercia\|Icel}}, who founded the {{Wiki\|Iclingas\|dynasty}} that ruled the kingdom for various centuries until the 8th century.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP\|Mercia}}</ref>

			In 675, King [[Wulfhere of Mercia]] led the kingdom south to invade [[Wessex]] to expand its territory. Wulfhere was defeated by King [[Æscwine of Wessex]] and eventually died later that year.<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''</ref>

			During the reign of King [[Offa of Mercia\|Offa]], whose reign was considered the most prosperous and the peak of the kingdom's power,<ref>''[[Discovery Tour: Viking Age]]'' – [[Learnings: Anglo-Saxon Warfare]]</ref> the king ordered the construction of a linear military fortification to define the western border of Mercia,<ref name="Britons DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Database: Britons]]''</ref> which later came to be known as {{Wiki\|Offa's Dyke}}.<ref name="Mercia DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Database: Mercia]]</ref>
