Battle of Maserfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Battle of Maserfield (or Maserfeld) 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 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. Following the battle, Deira, in the southern part of Northumbria, chose a king of its own, Oswine, while Bernicia in the north (which had been dominant, with Oswald, a member of the Bernician royal line, ruling both Bernicia and Deira prior to Maserfield) was ruled by Oswald's brother Oswiu. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Battle_of_Maserfield

Penda of Mercia According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle he was eighty years old at his death, but the energy of his administration and the evidence with regard to the ages of his children and relatives render it almost impossible. In 628 the Chronicle records a battle between him and the West Saxons at Cirencester in that year. In 633 Penda and Ceadwalla[?] overthrew Edwin at Hatfield Chase[?]; but after the defeat of the Welsh king at Oswald at "Hefenfeith" in 644, Mercia seems to have been for a time subject to Northumbria. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/pe/Penda_of_Mercia.html

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Oswald At the battle of Maserfeld, said to be seven miles from Shrewsbury, "on the border of Wales, near Offa's dyke", Oswald was slain on 5 Aug., 642, and thus perished "the most powerful and most Christian King" in the eighth year of his reign and in the flower of his age. Here, encouraged by a vision and promise of victory from St. Columba, who shrouded with his mantle all his camp, Oswald set up a cross of wood as his standard -- the first Christian symbol ever raised in Bernicia -- and gave battle to the Britons, who were led, probably, by Cadwalla. Oswald's mother was Acha, daughter of Ella or Alla, who, after Ida's death, had seized Deira and thus separated it from the Northern Bernicia. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11348c.htm
