Aelle of Sussex: Landing and Early Sussex Battles, c.477 to 491 was a campaign of the Early Medieval period, fought in East Sussex, England in 477. This engagement forms part of the broader pattern of conflict that shaped the political and military history of the UK during this era.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states of the 491 siege of Anderitum that Aelle and Cissa 'killed all who lived there; there was not even one Briton left', though historians regard this total-annihilation language as legendary convention rather than a verified figure.
The size of the opposing forces is not recorded in the surviving sources.
