Kingdom of Sussex Mug — Anglo-Saxon Heraldic History Gift

Sussex was the smallest of the Heptarchy kingdoms and one of the most stubborn. The South Saxons held on to their own kings, their own land, their own paganism longer than anyone else. The six gold martlets on blue — small footless birds, always in flight — became their banner, and remain the arms of the county to this day. This mug puts that banner on your morning coffee.

For the friend who can name every kingdom of the Heptarchy in order (and would, given the chance). For the Last Kingdom fan who appreciated the appearance of the lesser-known kingdoms. And for the proud Sussex man who remembers his county was once a sovereign nation.

Sussex by the sea. The kingdom that held out.
