Swein Forkbeard at Wilton 1003 was an early medieval raid, fought at Wiltshire, England in 1003. Swein Forkbeard prevailed over English levy of Wiltshire and Hampshire. Wilton was looted and burned after the English relief force, led by Ealdorman AElfric of Hampshire, dispersed when he feigned illness rather than give battle; Swein's force also burned Salisbury before returning to their ships.
