  Battle of Hatfield Chase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Hatfield (O.E. Haethfelth) was fought on October 12, 633
With both Edwin and his son Osfrith killed, and his other son Eadfrith captured by Penda (and later killed), the kingdom was divided between its constituent kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira.
Kirby suggested that the defeat of Edwin was the outcome of a wide-ranging alliance of interests opposed to him, including the deposed Bernician line of Æthelfrith; but considering the subsequent hostility between Cadwallon and Æthelfrith's sons, such an alliance must not have survived the battle for long.

 Penda of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penda's successful participation in the battle of Hatfield Chase may have elevated his status among the Mercians and enabled him to become king, and he may have withdrawn from the war prior to Heavenfield in order to secure or consolidate his position in Mercia.
The time at which the battle occurred is uncertain; it may have been as early as 635, but there is also evidence to suggest it could not have been before 640 or 641.
Northumbria was greatly weakened as a consequence of the battle; the kingdom became fractured to some degree between Deira in its southern part and Bernicia in the north, with the Deirans acquiring a king of their own, Oswine, while in Bernicia, Oswald was succeeded by his brother, Oswiu.

Hatfield's guitar playing is as powerful as ever, check the blistering solo on the aformentioned "Forever", and certainly her arrangements maintain their cleverness with great use of organs and vocal harmonies on cuts like "Tourist" and "Don't Let Me Down".
And Hatfield was really the only female in her field, so she really shouldn't have found it so hard to break through in the UK at a time when Throwing Muses and Belly were having top 10 albums.
Hatfield's career would take a dramatic turn after this-- she got into a well publicized arguement wiht her label over the followup to this ("God's Foot") which led to her breaking from major labels and (probably not coincidentally) an improvement in the quality of her music.

 Penda of Mercia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A pagan at a time when Christianity was taking hold in many of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Penda participated in the defeat of the powerful Northumbrian king Edwin at the battle of Hatfield Chase in 633; nine years later, he defeated and killed Edwin's eventual successor, Oswald, at the battle of Maserfield.
It may be presumed that Penda withdrew from the war at some point before the defeat and death of Cadwallon at the Battle of Heavenfield, about a year after Hatfield Chase, since he was not present at this battle.
The battle left Penda with a degree of power unprecedented for a Mercian king—D. Kirby called him "without question the most powerful Mercian ruler so far to have emerged in the midlands" after Maserfield—and the prestige and status associated with defeating the powerful Oswald must have been very significant.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his semi-legendary ''History of the Kings of Britain'', gives a fuller version of events leading up to the battle (although his history is to a great extent mythological and inaccurate, even regarded as a deliberate spoof by some scholars).
On August 5, 642 {{fn29}}, Penda defeated the Northumbrians at the Battle of Maserfield, which was fought near the lands of the Welsh, and Oswald was killed.
It would seem that Penda's army then moved back south, perhaps returning home,{{fn47}} but a great battle was fought near the river Winwaed (the identification of the Winwaed with a modern river is uncertain, although the River Went is a possibility) on a date given by Bede as November 15.
