Nomen Heptarchiae (scilicet "Septem regnorum") pertinet ad Angliam inter annos 475 et 827. Eo tempore regio divisa est in multa regna, interdum pugnantia inter se. Si possumus re vera septem regna invenire eodem tempore florentia, haec erunt:
- Anglosaxonice Westseaxe
- Regnum Sussaxonum sive Australium Saxonum (vide Index regum Sussaxonum)
- Anglosaxonice Suþseaxe
- Regnum Cantuariorum sive Cantiae (vide Index regum Cantuariorum)
- Anglosaxonice Cantwara
- Regnum Merciae (vide Index regum Merciae)
- Anglosaxonice Mierce
- Regnum Orientalium Saxonum (vide Index regum Orientalium Saxonum)
- Anglosaxonice Estseaxe
- Anglosaxonice Estangle
- Anglosaxonice Norþanhymbra
Nonnulla regna alia coniuncta sunt eis, inter quae:
- Regnum Deirae, postea in regno Northanhymbrorum coniunctum (vide Index regum Deirae)
- Regnum Berniciae, postea in regno Northanhymbrorum coniunctum (vide Index regum Berniciae)
- Regnum Hwicciorum (Anglosaxonice Hwicce), postea in Mercia coniunctum
