Battle of Mearcred Creek

In 485, forces from Logres lead by King Uther Pendragon marched on Sussex - King Ælle led a defense at Mearcred Creek.

After several hours of fighting the Logres troops pulled out; the result was indecisive.

Notably, some of Uther's vassals had not answered his summons. Although the battle was indecisive, the Saxons held on to the land they had claimed, but were not able to push further to Logres.
