Kingdom of Essex Mug — Anglo-Saxon Heraldic History Gift

The kingdom that named the Saxons. The seax — a short, single-edged curved sword — was the weapon Anglo-Saxon warriors carried at the hip, and it gave them their name. Three of them, crossed on a crimson shield, is the banner of Essex — the East Saxons, the kingdom that once stretched from the Thames Estuary to the heart of what is now London. This mug puts that banner on your morning coffee.

For the friend who knows that 'Saxon' comes from the seax, and will tell you. For the Last Kingdom fan who's done the deep dive on the original Saxon kingdoms. And for the true Essex man who knows his kingdom predates the modern reputation by about fourteen hundred years.

Three blades on crimson. The kingdom that armed England.
