This is a simplified classroom diagram based on the supplied photograph, 1-Photo-1.jpg. Clean flag artwork was generated with ImageGen from the emblem designs in that photograph. The same artwork is clipped into each shield and fills its matching kingdom on the map. Pupils may have used different colours.
The seven kingdoms’ borders changed over time. This map does not show exact borders at a single historical date. The shields are traditional later emblems used to match the classroom activity, rather than evidence of contemporary Anglo-Saxon coats of arms.
Scotland, Wales and Cornwall are extra place labels matching the photograph; they are not included in the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. “Scotland” is used here as a modern geographical reference.
