==Battle and aftermath==
The Saxons, commanded by Æthelred and his younger brother Alfred, suffered great losses, though both commanders managed to flee. The Vikings, under the orders of Halfdan Ragnarsson, burned the corpses of their enemies in a great pyre before giving chase to their escaping enemies, meeting them "where ashes fall".
