Constantine II led a great coalition of Scots, Norse-Irish under Olaf Guthfrithson, and Strathclyde Britons against Athelstan. The combined army was destroyed at Brunanburh — the exact location is disputed but likely in northern England or southern Scotland. Constantine II's son was killed. The Old English poem 'The Battle of Brunanburh' records the battle as the greatest since the Angles first came to Britain. Despite the defeat, Constantine II continued to reign in Scotland.
