The blood of our men stains the ground from the walls of Camelot to the gates of Mercia.

They are Morcar, the Earl of Northumbria, and Edwin, Earl of Mercia.

他们是诺森布里伯爵莫卡和麦西伯爵埃德温。

So you have Edwin the Elder Brother, who is the Earl of Mercia, so that's the Midlands.

Then in 870, the Viking army sets out from York, crosses over Mercia, and attacks the place where they originally landed, East Anglia, where they were horsed.

然后在870年，维京军队从约克出发，穿越梅西王国，攻击他们最初登陆地方——东安格利王国，那里他们曾被击败。

By the time Alfred the Great came to the throne in 871, most of the great monasteries of Northumbria and Mercia lay in ruins and only Wessex remained as an independent kingdom.

到 871 年阿尔弗雷德大帝登基时， 诺森比和麦西大部分大修道院都已成为废墟， 只有威塞克斯仍然是一个独立王国。

After losing its independence, the kingdom was referenced only sporadically in the early medieval annals. The last known mention of Mercia was made in 1017 AD, while the Mercian people are last mentioned in 1049 AD.

在失去独立性后，这个王国在中世纪早期编年史中只是零星地被提及。最后一次提及麦西是在公元 1017 年，而麦西人最后一次被提及是在公元 1049 年。

And the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says that in 870, quote, This year the army rode over Mercia into East Anglia, and there fixed their winter quarters at Thedford, and in the winter King Edmund fought with them.

而《盎格鲁-撒克逊编年史》记载， 在870年，军队骑马穿越梅西王国进入东安格利王国，并在那里以瑟德福德为冬季驻地，冬季时国王埃德蒙与他们交战。
