ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The English ‘Great War’ of the 10th century, the battle of Brunanburh of 937, most likely took place at Bromborough on the Wirral. Forceful claims, however, are made for other locations and the Bromborough claim is disputed. This chapter assesses the most recent interpretations denying Bromborough’s claim and supporting a location in eastern England or the Solway region. The arguments for the rst are not compelling, and those in support of Burnswark in Dumfriesshire lack evidence.
