Notes:

*The battle of Tettenhall (see ASC, s.a. 911 and Mercian Register, s.a. 910) is here called 'Wodnesfield', which as @Campbell 1962, p. xxxi points out, is confirmed by the Annals of St Neots and 'Florence' of Worcester. *@Whitelock 1979 points out that Ęthelweard 23 here has fuller information on this battle than the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
