21 ноя 577 г. - Battle of Dyrham

Описание:

Capture of Glevum, Corinium, Aquae Sulis by Saxons of Wessex led by Ceawlin. Here Cuthwine and Ceawlin fought against Britons and they slew 3 kings: Coinmail & Condidan & Farinmail, in the place which is called Dyrham, and took 3 towns: Gloucester & Cirencester & Bath. The loss of Bath would separate the Britons of Wales from the Britons of the southwest. After this, the border between Saxons and the southwest Britons was probably at the Wansdyke along the ridge of the Mendip Hills.
