	Battle of the Winwaed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of the Winwaed was fought on November 15, 655 (or perhaps in 654, according to one interpretation of the chronology), between King Penda of Mercia and Oswiu of Bernicia, ending in the Mercians' defeat and Penda's death.
		According to Bede, before the battle Oswiu prayed to God and promised to make his daughter a nun and grant twelve estates for the construction of monasteries if he was victorious.
		The battle was fought by the river in the midst of heavy rains, and Bede says that "many more were drowned in the flight than destroyed by the sword".

	Battle of Maserfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Maserfield (or Maserfeld), Welsh: "Maes Cogwy", was fought on August 5, 642, between the Anglo-Saxon kings Oswald of Northumbria and Penda of Mercia, ending in Oswald's defeat, death, and dismemberment.
		The outcome of the battle was defeat for the Northumbrians.
		The battle may more accurately be characterized as marking the defeat of Northumbrian imperialism south of the Humber: the 20th century historian Frank Stenton wrote of Penda that his resistance may have prevented the establishment of "a loosely compacted kingdom of England under Northumbrian rule" by the mid-7th century.

	Penda of Mercia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		It was probably at some point during Oswald's reign that Penda fought with the East Angles and defeated them, killing their king Egric and the former king Sigebert, who had been brought out of retirement in a monastery against his will in the belief that his presence would motivate the soldiers.
		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.

		Oswald was thereafter popularly revered as a saint, with his death in battle as a Christian king against pagans leading him to be regarded as a martyr.
		The Historia Brittonum may also be referring to this battle when it says that Penda first freed the Mercians from the Northumbrians, although this is unlikely to have truly been the first instance of their separation.
		No open battles are recorded as being fought between the two sides prior to the Winwaed in 655, however, and this may mean that Oswiu deliberately avoided battle due to a feeling of weakness relative to Penda.

		From this point he was probably the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon rulers of the time; he defeated the East Angles, drove the king of Wessex into exile for three years, and continued to wage war against the Bernicians of Northumbria.
		The possibility certainly exists that Penda and Eowa ruled jointly during the 630s and early 640s, and joint kingships were not uncommon among Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the period.
		The Historia Brittonum may also be referring to this battle when it says that Penda first freed (separavit) the Mercians from the Northumbrians, although this is unlikely to have truly been the first instance of their separation.
