WE(O)NDUN, SYMEON OF DURHAM, AND THE BATTLE OF BRUNANBURH.

The article focuses on re-evaluating the name We(o)ndun as a potential location for the Battle of Brunanburh, challenging the widely accepted identification of the site as Bromborough. Topics include analysis of early manuscript sources—particularly Historia de regibus Anglorum et Dacorum and Symeon of Durham's Libellus de exordio—philological and textual variations in the name of the battle site, and the historiographical assumptions made by scholars like Michael Wood and Andrew Breeze.
