		The battle took place either in 909 or in 910 or in 911 AD and the sources also differ as to whether it was on the 5th or 6th August of that year.
		But everyone seems to agree that the Danes had been doing a bit of the usual raping and pillaging down as far as the Severn and were returning, probably up the Smestow Valley, when they were ambushed by an army if West Saxons and Mercians and thoroughly routed.
		It is arguable that the battle was of longer term national importance because it enabled the English to take a breather, re-group and, in due course, see off Danish power in England altogether.

	Anglo-Saxons.net : August 5
		Different versions of the Chronicle record that the battle took place on August 5 or 6, and at Tettenhall or Wednesfield -- the different place-names are easily explained because they're only four miles apart (see map), so the "real" site is presumably near both.
		While we may not believe the Chronicle's record that "many thousands" of Vikings were slain, it was a crushing defeat with a very significant effect: in Edward the Elder's campaigns in the 910s to retake the Viking-held lands south of the Humber, the Northumbrian Vikings played no part at all.
		There are earlier examples of the Northumbrian and East Anglian Vikings joining forces (896 and probably 902), but after the battle of Wednesfield/Tettenhall they seem to have stayed north of the Humber, until the great battle of Brunanburh in 937.
