Battle of Tettenhall

According to Æthelweard, author of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Battle of Wōdnesdeld took place in August of 910 AD, near Tettenhall. This is commonly thought to be the last Viking raid on Britain.



The final result of the battle was an alliance between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex, which subdued both the Vikings and the Northern Danes.
