The
Myrgings was a clan which together with their king
Eadgils of the Myrgings is only mentioned in the
Anglo-Saxon poem
Widsith. They are mentioned as the people of the
skald Widsith. They appear to have been the neighbours of the
Angles and
Offa of Angel was involved in a war against them. Perhaps they were a dynasty competing for power with Offa over the rule of the
Angles.
