The Battle of Brunanburh Revisited
![](https://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/wordforwords/files/2011/10/51TsDpXogbL._SS500_-300x150.jpg)
Paul Cavill is Lecturer in Early English in the School of English at the University of Nottingham, Michael Wood is a broadcaster and historian with a particular interest in the Anglo-Saxon period, and Alex Woolf is Senior Lecturer in the School of History at the University of St Andrews; all have published on the battle of Brunanburh and its linguistic, literary and historical contexts.
I read with interest the battle of Brunanburgh, I live nearby on the Wirral and wonder, also in Bromborough is a wooded hollow named Dibbensdale perhaps a possible connection?
