The battle of Tettenhall in August 910 is recorded in multiple sources as a catastrophic defeat for the Northumbrian Danes who had raided deep into Mercia. Three Danish kings — Halfdan, Eowils, and Ivar — were killed. The victory shattered Northumbrian Danish military power and opened the way for the reconquest. This entry focuses on the pursuit phase following the main engagement at Tettenhall ridge, in which the Mercian forces cut down Danish fugitives across the surrounding area.
