Penda's Welsh allies may have included of Powys; the says of him that "when the son of Pyd requested, he was so ready!" This may be a reference to Penda, the son of Pybba, meaning that Cynddylan was eager to fight in battle alongside him.
Since Penda was a pagan and Oswald was Christian, the latter was subsequently venerated as a martyr and saint.
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.

 U.S. Postal Service Bid Protest 91-81 Decision
Penda concludes that the contracting officer's fixation on the lowest priced pallet has led to an award on a pallet that, while nominally cheaper, will have a much higher cost per trip because pressed fiberboard pallets only are good for two or three trips, at best.
Penda also argues that its protest is timely, because it is not protesting that the solicitation was inherently flawed, but that the award was not the most advantageous to the Postal Service, cost or price and other factors specified elsewhere considered.
Penda disputes Litco's comments as to the price of plastic pallets and the comparative environmental advantages of pressed fiberboard versus plastic pallets, and notes that the needs of the Postal Service, not the needs of a supplier such as Litco should determine how a solicitation's evaluation process is structured.

 At the Edge: Penda the Pagan
As Penda was a pagan, and his alleged victims all Christian, it comes as no surprise to find that medieval chroniclers, mostly monks or Christian nobles, viewed his reign and deeds with horror and denigrated him at every opportunity.
Penda may have been responsible, as a warlord, for leading warriors against them, but to have cast him as a murderer seems both harsh and inappropriate.
Penda must have had reasons for doing what he did to Oswald's corpse, and the sacrificial explanation certainly fits the bill; but it is unlikely that we will ever know exactly what happened, or that we will be privy to any motive Penda may have had.
