Although Kent had been already invaded, a.d. 676, yet so late as A.D. 695,^ London remained subject to Essex ; but, as we have already seen, only nine years afterwards Twickenham, in the province called " Middelseaxan," had become subject to Mercia. Some of our most l...earned historians describe the " Middle Saxons " as a very small people, forming a part of the East Saxons ; but they are obliged to confess that they find very little to say about them. It is believed that there never was a separate people called Middle Saxons. They have been created out of a snatched analogy, of the mere name " Middlesex," with " Essex," " Sussex," and " Wessex." There can be little doubt that Mid- dlesex represents the original civitas, or territory, of the local government, of its urbs or burgh of London, the capital of the king- dom of Essex.
