Years: 909 - 909
Significant parts of northeastern England, formerly Northumbria, are under the control of Danish Vikings after successful raids.
Danish attacks into central England had been resisted and effectively reduced by Alfred the Great, to the point where his son, King Edward of Wessex, can launch offensive attacks against the foreigners.
Edward is allied with the Mercians under his sister Æthelfleda, and their combined forces ware formidable.
The allies in 909 launch a five-week campaign against Lindsey and successfully capture the relics of Saint Oswald of Northumbria.
