After many years, I return to the story of the Battle of Winwaed to do it proper justice.

In 655 AD, Oswy of Northumbria defeated and killed Penda of Mercia in battle. It's commonly believed to have happened in East Leeds, where I grew up. But when we look at the evidence, things become a lot more uncertain than we first thought.
