A Tale of Four Kingdoms

POD 9th Century

The viking invasion of England either fails or the heptarchical system remains unaffected

Over the centuries England develops on a more "balkanised" path. London still becomes the national capital at the heart of an "English Capital Territory" but each of the four areas develop their own governing systems, cultures etc:

NATIONAL CAPITAL: London

REGIONAL CAPITALS
Northumbria : York
Mercia: Birmingham
Wessex: Winchester
East Anglia: Norwich
 
That was my inspiration too:)

The idea is if each heptarchy or mini-state had its own capital etc then how would they relate to each other and with London?
