A long blank follows in the history of this kingdom, until in 792 we find Offa of Mercia slaying lEthelb_.rht, king of East Anglia, who is said to have been his son-in-law.
This king was an enthusiastic Christian, and converted Ccenwalh, king of Wessex, who had fled to his court.
East Anglia was subject to the supremacy of the Mercian kings until 825, when its people slew Beornwulf of Mercia, and with their king acknowledged Ecgberht (Egbert) of Wessex as their lord.

 East Anglia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The independence of the East Anglians was restored by a successful rebellion against Mercia (825 - 827), in course of which two Mercian kings were killed attempting to crush it.
East Anglia is a region of eastern England, named after one of the ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, which was named after the homeland of the Angles, Angeln in northern Germany.
But this did not last: over the next forty years, East Anglia was defeated by the Mercians three times, and it continued to weaken relative to the other kingdoms until in 794, Offa of Mercia had its king Aethelbert killed and took control of the kingdom himself.

If East Anglia has remained rural to a large extent, its harvest of legendary minds has been just as impressive as its agricultural crops.
As a result of being a historical backwater, the region is enormously rich in quiet villages, presided over by ancient churches, tiny settlements in the midst of otherwise deserted fenland (lowlands), and manor houses surrounded by moats.
It was a region of major importance in ancient times, as evidenced by the Roman settlements at Colchester and Lincoln; and during the medieval era, when trade in wool with the Netherlands made East Anglian towns strong and independent.
