That's a good theory and I agree with it on thw whole but wouldn't England have been Mercia? After all Alfred the Great conqured most the regions besides Sussex creating the Kingdom of Merica and England came about after his grandson Athlestan/ Ethlestan (I can't remeber how you spell his name)) conqured Sussex and nameing the whole countyry Angleland meaning land of the Angles. Which in time became the word England. I think England is a hard one to pin down. You could say he didn't come into place until after the country became fully under one rule.
