 In 937AD, the bloody battle of Brunanburh in which five kings and a large number of warriors were slaughtered, celebrates the victory over a Norse-Scot coalition, led by Viking Olaf (Anlaf) and Scottish King Constantine II. This battle was led by King Aethelstan and his brother Edmund, which were Anglo-Saxon, and at the end of this battle, England was established as an Anglo-Saxon nation.
