What were the two kingdoms called in the middle ages?
There were many kingdoms in the European Middle Ages. There were
probably kingdoms that have been forgotten to history, because much
of northern and eastern Europe has no history until about 1000
AD.
England was one kingdom. But before England existed as we know
it, that land was in the kingdoms of Essex, Middlesex, Wessex,
Mercia, Kent, Northumbria, and East Anglia, along with ten or so
smaller kingdoms. After they combined, the Vikings divided off the
northern part into a kingdom called the Danelaw.
Spain consisted of the kingdoms of the Sueves and Visigoths at
the beginning of the Middle Ages. The Visigoths conquered the
Sueves. But they were conquered by Moors. And then, the people who
opposed the Moors founded the kingdoms of Asturias, Galicia,
Castile, Leon, Aragon, Catalonia, Navarre, and Portugal, while the
Moors divided into a number of smaller kingdoms.
There were kingdoms within empires. The Carolingian Empire
included the Kingdom of the Franks and the Kingdom of the Lombards.
The Holy Roman Empire also had kingdoms within it.
The list seems endless.
