Northern Brittonic forces fought a major battle traditionally associated with political rivalries around Strathclyde. Within the broader Post-Roman Britain period, Roman institutions gave way to competing Brittonic and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms while Christianity was rebuilt through continental and Irish missions. This event is placed at AD 573 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The conflict belongs to the fragmented world of Brittonic kingdoms that survived after Rome.
