Denkjewel wrote that the Battle of Assandun was fought in 1016 between England under Edmund II and Denmark under Cnut the Great. According to the author, Eadric Streona, a vassal of Edmund, withdrew after he committed treason, which led to the Danish victory. Cnut then became king of England, according to Denkjewel. https://t.co/O6sytcOvLp #geschiedenis #SlagbijAssandun #Engeland (translated)
