Hæstingas
Sign in to saveThe Haestingas, Heastingas or Hæstingas were one of the tribes of Anglo-Saxon Britain. Not very much is known about them. They settled in what became East Sussex and its principal town of Hastings, which bears their name, sometime before the end of the 8th century. A 12th-century source suggested that they were conquered by Offa of Mercia, in 771. They were also recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (ASC) as being an autonomous grouping as late as the 11th century. Category:States and territories disestablished in the 8th century

Les Hæstingas sont un peuple anglo-saxon installé dans le Sussex de l'Est. Leur nom, qui les identifie comme la tribu d'un chef nommé Hæsta, est à l'origine de celui de la ville de Hastings. Cette région semble avoir conservé un caractère distinct du royaume des Saxons du Sud tout au long de la période anglo-saxonne. Elle pourrait avoir été colonisée depuis l'est et le royaume de Kent plutôt que depuis l'ouest. Le chroniqueur du XIIe siècle Siméon de Durham enregistre la défaite des Hæstingas face au roi Offa de Mercie en 771.
