Cnut’s raiding of Mercia before the battle of Assandun
This paper examines the route to battle of Cnut’s raiding army, whether the Danes who were travelling from the Essex coast were intercepted by Edmund Ironside before or after reaching Mercia, and the counties that were raided. Cnut’s routes from Cambridgeshire back into Essex prior to the battle are discussed, and two check points are derived for use in the objective assessment of any candidate Assandun site.
