Welsh/ Saxon conflicts timeline part 1
The Welsh conflict with the Saxons of England don't seem to get much attention compared to those against the Norman/English so i thought i would put this together. I decided to start with the battle of Chester, which was an extremely significant battle in Welsh history, there were battles before but because the Saxons called all Britons Welsh it is hard to tell if they mean the Welsh of Wales or not, the battle of Chester is significant in the fact it cut the Welsh of Wales off from the Britons of North West England , Battle of Deorham is said to have cut the Welsh off from those of south West England but this didn't have any involvement from the kingdoms in Wales. 616 The Battle of Chester where the Anglo Saxons beat native Britons near the city of Chester,. Æthelfrith of Northumbria annihilated a combined force from the Welsh kingdoms of Powys, Rhôs, and Mercia. It resulted in the deaths of Welsh leaders Selyf Sarffgadau of Powys and Cadwal Crysban of Rhôs. Evidence sugges
