The "Battle of Brunanburh" is an Old English poem. It is preserved in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a historical record of events in Anglo-Saxon England which was kept from the late ninth to the mid-twelfth century. The poem records the Battle of Brunanburh, a battle fought in 937 between an English army and a combined army of Scots, Vikings, and Britons. The battle resulted in an English victory, celebrated by the poem in style and language like that of traditional Old English battle poetry. The poem is notable because of those traditional elements and has been praised for its authentic tone, but it is also remarkable for its fiercely nationalistic tone, which documents the development of a unified England ruled by the House of Wessex.

  • La Bataille de Brunanburh (The Battle of Brunanburh) est un poème en vieil anglais présent dans certains manuscrits de la Chronique anglo-saxonne. Il apparaît dans l'annale pour l'année 937 et célèbre la bataille de Brunanburh remportée par le roi anglais Æthelstan sur une alliance entre les Vikings d'Irlande, les Écossais et les Bretons du Strathclyde. Bien qu'il n'offre pas un récit détaillé de cet affrontement, il constitue l'une des principales sources littéraires à son sujet. (fr)
  • Bitwa pod Brunanburh (The Battle of Brunanburh) lub po prostu Brunanburh – anglosaski poemat bohaterski opisujący zwycięstwo angielskiego króla Athelstana w 937 roku nad sprzymierzonymi siłami Skandynawów i Szkotów wspomaganych przez Walijczyków. Miejsce rozegrania bitwy jest sporne. Najczęściej sugeruje się teren wokół starego rzymskiego fortu po północno-wschodniej Solway Firth. Utwór zapisany został przez nieznanego autora w Kronice Anglosaskiej pod rokiem 937, bez jakiegokolwiek komentarza czy informacji. Jest to jeden z nielicznych przekazów w całej poezji staroangielskiej, gdzie w ogóle został odzwierciedlony konflikt anglosasko-celtycki. Uderza w nim specyficzna estetyka okrucieństwa i śmierci.
