“They were riding on the edge of a shallow wooded valley, upon the road west as it followed the course of a gently meandering stream. His men had journeyed hard since leaving Tamworth, despite the bad weather. His instincts told him it was best to get as far away from Penda as possible – as quickly as possible.
