This battle is said to have resulted in much bloodshed and slaughter on both sides, to the extent that hostilities abated for a while thereafter. Some historians believe in a Saxon victory, but that is not what is mentioned in the text. The limited number of casualties is an indication that the battle was a minor one. The number of warriors involved must not have reached 200 men. Wippedesfleot is thought to be Ebbsfleet, Thanet Ebbsfleet in Kent, near Ramsgate .

The western part of Wigan borough constitutes the Makerfield UK Parliament constituency Makerfield parliamentary constituency . Naming and History cleanup date March 2010 The name Makerfield, was Macrefeld in 1121 a.d., and later Maserfeld, the Anglo Saxon for Makerfield. Winwick, in Makerfield, was the location in 642 a.d. of a battle between Penda, assisted by his Welsh ally Cynddylan of the Cornovii, and his brother Eawa. Penda and Eawa were both sons of Pybba. At this battle Penda gained all of Mercia, and Eawa and Oswald king of Northumbria both died here according to Nennius and the Annales Cambriae. Nennius gives us both Maserfrith A.Sax and Maes Cogwy OW , which is identified as Makerfield. The death of Oswald is also conflictingly linked with Oswestry, but it is thought that he was buried there rather than died there.

multiple issues notability June 2010 unreferenced June 2010 Goffar , known as Goffar the Pict as an identifier, was a king of Aquitaine circa 1000BCE according to the pseudo histories of Geoffrey of Monmouth . In the myths surrounding Brutus of Troy s occupation of United Kingdom Britain , he led the Poitevins to war against Brutus fleet. Although he sent messengers under a certain Himbert first, they got in a fight with Corineus , Brutus general , over royal property and all of the messengers were killed. After a battle at the mouth of the Loire , the Troy Trojans marched up the Loire through Goffar s dominions until they reached the territory of the Turones . There a battle was fought against troops given to Goffar by the 11 other kings of Gaul , and won, founding the city of Tours named in honor of Brutus nephew Turnus, who died fighting. This idea probably comes from Nennius confusing passage in his Historia Brittonum he was exiled on account of the death of Turnus, slain by Eneas. He then went among the Tribes of Gaul Gauls and built a city of the Turones , called Turnis Tours . Nennius is correct that the city is named after the tribe, not the similarly named person.

A bardic name is a pseudonym , used in Wales , Cornwall and Brittany , by poet s and other artists, especially those involved in the eisteddfod movement. The Welsh language Welsh term bardd poet , which is the source of the English word bard originally referred to the Welsh poets of the Middle Ages , who might be itinerant or attached to a noble household. Some of these medieval poets were known by a pseudonym, for example Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr Cynddelw the Master Poet , fl. 1155 1200 and Iolo Goch Iolo the Red , c.1320 c.1398 . The practice seems to have very ancient antecedents, witness the names of the presumably 6th century poets Talhaearn Tad Awen , Blwchfardd and Culfardd , mentioned by the Welsh historian Nennius alongside Taliesin and Aneirin , the latter referred to as Aneurin Gwenithwawd . However, the use of so called bardic names became something of a conceit following the re invention of medieval tradition by Iolo Morganwg in the eighteenth century. The usage has also extended to Breton language Breton and Cornish language Cornish poetry. In Cornwall , some of the pioneers of the Cornish language movement are generally referred to by their bardic names, e.g. Mordon for Robert Morton Nance , or Talek for E.G. Retallack Hooper . ref http www.gorsethkernow.org.uk english archives newbards bardlist.htm List of new Cornish bards bardic names ref Bardic names are also useful in differentiating between individuals of the same name a problem which is much more common in Wales than most other countries . For example, John Jones Talhaiarn took his bardic name from his place of origin, to distinguish him from contemporaries with the name John Jones . The minister Joseph Harris Gomer selected his bardic name from the Bible. Others, such as Hedd Wyn , used poetic inventions.

unreferenced date July 2008 According to Geoffrey of Monmouth , Albanactus was the founding king of Scotland Albania or Alba ny. He was the youngest of three sons of Brutus of Britain Brutus , a descendant of Aeneas of Troy . According to legend, upon their father s death, the eldest son Locrinus was given Loegria, Kamber Camber was given Cambria and Albanactus Albania . These names are merely reverse etymologies. Albanactus, for instance, is a reverse etymology of the Scots Gaelic Scottish word Albannach Scotsman . Likewise, Locrinus represents the medieval Welsh word Loegria England modern Welsh Lloegr , and Kamber Camber represents the Latin word Cambria or the Welsh language Welsh word Cymru Wales . It is recounted that Albanactus was killed shortly after he began his reign, by Humber the Hun Humber , king of the Huns . Humber invaded Albany from Germany and met Albanactus s army in battle, where Humber killed Albanactus. This forced the people of Albany to flee south to Albanactus s brother, Locrinus . All this was supposedly before the Picts and Scottish people Scots had invaded. Later Kings of England particularly Edward I of England Edward I used the Brutus and Albanactus legend as an excuse to claim superiority over and to conquer Scotland, arguing that as Locrinus was the oldest brother, so he and hence England had superior status. The same argument, of course, extended over Wales, as Camber was also junior to Locrinus. In Scottish origin myths, Albanactus had little place.

Elfodd died 809 , also known as Elfoddw Latin Elbodugus or Elvodugus , was a Welsh bishop who induced the Welsh church to adopt the Roman method of determining the date of Easter . Elfodd appears to have been associated with the monastery at Holyhead on Anglesey as a young man, and must have still been comparatively young when in 768 he persuaded the Welsh church to come into line with Rome as regards the method of calculating the date of Easter. The annals Brut y Tywysogion state Eight years after that 768 Easter was moved for the Britons, and Elbodius the servant of God moved it. Elfodd s death is recorded under the year 809. Brut y Tywysogion describes him as archbishop or chief bishop of Gwynedd . Nennius , who says in the Historia Brittonum that he was the pupil of Elfodd, describes him as a most holy bishop and reveals that Elfodd was a student of the works of Bede . One later source states that he was consecrated as Bishop of Bangor in 755, but may not be reliable.
