Rulers of England since AD-828

This table presents a list of all the rulers known for what can be considered England, since about AD 828. I will try to find information about the rulers prior to this time and include that at a later date, the main area of interest for that period will, as you might guess, be the ROMANS. To save space the table reads across the columns with two subsequent rulers on one line.
