AHC: Modern English Heptarchy

Hope I have got the right forum for this, since the PoD would likely need to be pre-1900. Anyway, the challenge is to make the area covering modern England split up into four or more sovereign states. To make it a little easier, they do not necessarily have to be the same entities as in the original Heptarchy (Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria, etc) , nor do they have to have existed continously since then if they are (though bonus points for both).
