A fact from Beorhtwulf of Mercia appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 18 January 2008.

• "Beorhtric's reign, saw the first recorded Viking attacks on Mercia,..." Is this a slip for Beorhtwulf? The long disracting aside in the opening sentence might well go into a footnote. Otherwise, what a good job of tuning this up to concert pitch! --Wetman (talk) 07:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)--Wetman (talk) 07:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

It was indeed a slip. Many thanks, Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] London

According to Image:GreatBritain802.png, Mercia is to the north of London (which looks like it would be at the junctions of Wessex, Kent, and Essex). Of course, that was the year 802, so did Mercia expand by the time the Vikings attacked it? howcheng {chat} 18:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I should have read the Mercia article more carefully. howcheng {chat} 18:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
