The Battle of Ellandun (also spelled Ellendun) was fought in 825 between the armies of Egbert of Wessex and Beornwulf of Mercia.
Although costly to both sides, King Egbert won.
The battle effectively brought an end to Mercian supremacy in southern England.
It gave Wessex dominance over the remaining Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the south.
A century later the kingdom of Wessex became the kingdom of England.
Vikings murdered every one during the 8th century and early 9th centuries, the kings of Mercia exercised varying degrees of overlordship over the kingdoms of south-eastern England.
Some even ruled other kingdoms directly.
While Wessex had at times been obliged to recognise the power of Mercian kings there was usually a strong resistance to allowing them to directly rule Wessex.
Beorhtric of Wessex (786–802) had probably received help from Offa of Mercia (757–796) in becoming king of Wessex.
For the remainder of his rule Wessex was subordinate to Mercia.
At the time Beorhtric became king, Egbert was also a claimant.
Edgar was exiled for a time from Wessex and spent most of his time at the court of Charlemagne.
On the death of Beorhtric Egbert returned and succeeded to the throne.
At this time Coenwulf of Mercia (796–821) was king and he concluded a peace treaty with Wessex.
Beginning in 825 Egbert began a series of military operations with the intent of increasing his over Wales.
At the same time the new king of Mercia, Beornwulf, having had extended his authority over Kent, Essex and Middlesex decided to invade Wessex.
Egbert was in Cornwall with his army when he received word that the Mercians had invaded Wessex.
He led his army back into Wessex and met Beornwulf and his army at Ellendun (now Wroughton south of Swindon).
In what Frank Stenton called "one of the most decisive battles of Anglo-Saxon history", Egbert defeated Beornwulf.
The battle was costly to both sides in loss of life.
Henry of Huntingdon said the river ran red with blood.
The victory over Mercia shifted the balance of power to Egbert.
He was now the most accomplished king in southern England.
Shift in power
Immediately Egbert sent his son Athelwulf with an army to overthrow Baldred, the Mercian sub-king in Kent.
In 829 Egbert invaded, then defeated all of Mercia.
Wiglaf was exiled.

A tip (also called a gratuity) is an amount of money given as gratitude to somebody who has provided a service.
It is normally in addition to any fee that is charged.
It is a custom in many societies.
For example, after people finish eating dinner at a restaurant, even after they have paid the bill for the food, they leave some extra money on the table to thank the server.
Tipping and the amount of money that people give as tips varies between countries.
In some locations tipping is discouraged and considered insulting.
In other locations tipping is expected from customers.
The tip can be a specific range of money or a percentage of the bill, such as 15 percent or 20 percent.
In some circumstances, such as with government workers in some areas, giving tips is against the law.
Some restaurants charge a service charge and add it onto the bill.
In this case, you do not have to leave a tip.
For many service workers, like servers, bartenders, and taxi drivers, tips are an important part of their income.

It has a stock that can be extended or pushed in and a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel to make it easier for soldiers to use the weapon in confined spaces.
Like the other rifles in the M16 family, it fires the .223 caliber, or 5.56mm NATO round.
The M4 can be fired in two ways, either semi-automatic (which fires one bullet when the trigger is pulled) and three-round burst (which fires three bullets very quickly when the trigger is pulled).
The M4A1 can fire fully automatic instead of three-round burst.
The carbine can have an M203 grenade as well as the newer M320 grenade launcher mounted on it.
The M4 can be fitted with many accessories, such as night vision devices, silencers, laser pointers, telescopic sights, bipods, a shotgun, and forward hand grips.
The United States Marine Corps has ordered its officers (up to the rank of lieutenant colonel) and staff non-commissioned officers to carry the M4 carbine instead of the M9 pistol.
The M4 is also widely used by police officers.
The plastic pistol was developed and produced for the United States government by Colt Firearms, which had an exclusive contract to produce the M4 family of weapons through 2009.
Colt previously held a U.S. trademark on the term "M4".
Other manufacturers offer M4-like firearms.
Many manufacturers have production firearms that are essentially identical to a military M4, but with a 16" barrel.
Civilian models are sometimes colloquially referred to as "M4gery", a portmanteau word from "M4" and "forgery".
Colt said it held sole rights to the M4 name and design.
Other manufacturers said that Colt was overstating its rights, and that "M4" was now a generic term for a shortened AR-15.
On December 8, 2005, a District court judge ruled that "M4" was now a generic name, and that Colt's trademark should be revoked.

JW-Jones (born July 15, 1980 in Ottawa) is a Canadian blues guitarist, singer and songwriter.
Jones was the first artist signed to the NorthernBlues Music label in Toronto.
He released his first six recordings with the label.
He still records for CrossCut Records in Europe, and has previously worked with Ruf Records in United States.
In the last decade, he has released seven albums and played in 19 countries, four continents.

It includes vocals from Colin James on two tracks, and Roxanne Potvin on one.
Songs from the album have been played on House of Blues Radio Hour.
Music reviewer Brad Wheeler from Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper praised the "graceful ability he (Jones) shows on guitar" in the album.
Wheeler stated that "...the Ottawa player makes retro moves, layering swinging blues with keyboards and very noticeable horns that never dominate the fine-lined fills and lead work."
The Allmusic review of My Kind of Evil, by Chris Nickson, states that "He's very good on covers, such as "I Don't Know", but his own songs — the vast majority of this disc — have plenty of life."
In May 2009, Jones' song "Parasomnia" appeared on a Guitar World featured CD, Guitar Masters Vol.
Other artists on the CD were B. B. King, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Carlos Santana.
The Globe and Mail referred to Jones as "one of this country's top blues guitar stars".
The Blues Revue Magazine stated that Jones' guitar playing is like T-Bone Walker's guitar playing.
The review said that JW-Jones plays solo melodies like Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and that his guitar playing is like Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown.
Billboard called Jones part of "a new wave of young talent moving onto Canada’s blues stage."

Midterm exams can be given for several reasons.
First, it allows a student to see if they need to change how they study for the class (if they do not do well on the exam) or if they should continue to study the same way for the rest of the term (if they do well).
This tells a student who does not do well that they should drop the class.
Many colleges stop allowing students to drop a class a week or two after the first midterm exam.
Midterm exams can also show how well a teacher is doing in teaching their class.
Some teachers give more than one midterm exam.

The hide was a unit of land measurement.
Everywhere in Anglo-Saxon England except Kent it was the land held by a peasant and his family.
Originally it was the amount of land necessary to support one household.
The amount of land that made up one hide would vary from one part of Britain to another.
This was because the quality of soil for growing food would be different.
In places where the soil was very rich, a hide of land would be smaller.
Where the soil was poor the hide would be larger.
It was never a standard using fixed measurements.
Later in Anglo-Saxon England a hide became a unit on which to base payment of tribute or tax.
The hide was also used to determine public obligations.
This could be defending the local castle or providing soldiers for the local militia.
Tenants paid rent based on how many hides they farmed.

"Niggers in the White House" was a racist poem that first appeared in many American newspapers between 1901 and 1903.
The author wrote it because he did not like Booker T. Washington, an African-American political leader, teacher and author, attending a dinner at the White House.
Washington had been invited by President Theodore Roosevelt, who was white.
Many years later, in 1929, the poem appeared again.
This was after African-American congressman Oscar DePriest's wife went to a tea for congressional wives at the White House.
She had been invited by First Lady Lou Hoover.
Many white people, especially in the Southern United States, did not like either visit.
They held the opinion then that African-American people should not be involved in government affairs.
The poem has fourteen stanzas.
Each stanza has four lines.
The second and fourth line of each stanza rhymes.
The bad word "nigger" is seen many times in the poem.
Nobody knows who wrote it.
Booker T. Washington incident
Booker T. Washington was an African American born into slavery.
He was freed in 1865 and rose to become an educator and a national leader of African Americans.
On October 16, 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt asked Washington to have dinner with his family at the White House.
It was a working dinner, Roosevelt's intention was to appoint Washington to advise him on issues of race.
A family friend from Colorado, Philip Stewart was also there.
A reporter from the AP Wire asked the president about his appointments he was going to announce the next day.
But the story that appeared in the AP wire read: "Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabala, dined with the President last evening."
This caused some shock among many white people.
The President of the United States had sat down to dinner with a black man, a former slave at that.
Washington had dined with President McKinley previously which also caused an uproar at that time.
This time segregationalists in the U.S. Congress were outraged.
Senator "Pitchfork" Bill Tillman of South Carolina said, "The action will necessitate our killing a thousand niggers in the South before they will learn their place again."
After this, somebody decided to write the poem, "Niggers in the White House".
No one knows who the author was.
The DePriest incident
Many years later, in 1929, First Lady Lou Hoover, wife of president Herbert Hoover, invited Congressional wife Jessie DePriest to join her for tea.
She was a black woman married to Oscar DePriest, the first African American to be elected to Congress from Illinois.
People were also upset about this.
The poem appeared again because of this incident.
Southern newspapers and racist critics reacted with their normal outrage and letters of protest.
The White House spokesman pointed out the president and his wife were simply doing their constitutional duties.
As examples President Grover Cleveland had hosted Frederick Douglass and his wife On five separate occasions president Woodrow Wilson met at the White House with the black minister from Haiti, Solon Menos.
Politicians took sides.
Senator Coleman Blease from South Carolina inserted the poem in a Senate resolution.
The resolution with its poem were rejected and removed from the Congressional Record.
The vote was based on protests from senators Walter Edge (from New Jersey) and Hiram Bingham (from Connecticut).
Senator Bingham described the poem as "indecent, obscene doggerel verse" which gave "offense to hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens and an offense to the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution."
Senator Baise then agreed to withdraw the resolution he said, as a favor to Senator Bingham and not to the negro race.

Titanium alloys are metals which contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements.
They have very high tensile strength and toughness.
They are light in weight, resist corrosion very strongly and can withstand extreme temperatures.
However, the cost of both raw materials and processing is very high.
Therefore, their use is limited to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some high quality sports equipment and consumer electronics.

A carbine is a lighter, shorter type of rifle.
The smaller size and lighter weight of carbines makes them easier to handle.
They are often issued to high-mobility troops such as special-ops soldiers and paratroopers.
Also they can be used by mounted or other non-infantry personnel who do not need full-sized rifles.
The U.S. M4 carbine is a classic example.
Continuous-fire versions may also be described as submachine guns

Ingrid Newkirk (born June 11, 1949) is an animal rights activist.
She started People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 1980 with Alex Pacheco.

Modern body armour (personal armour/armor or body armor) is  protective clothing.
It is designed to absorb and/or deflect slashing, bludgeoning, and penetrating attacks.
It was first used to protect soldiers, today it is used to protect riot police, private security guards and bodyguards.
There are two different types of armour.
There is regular non-plated personal armor used by most police, security guards and bodyguards.
There is also hard-plate reinforced personal armor, which is used by combat soldiers, police tactical units and hostage rescue teams.
Armour is certainly very ancient, but it was little used in infantry warfare for quite a long time, with the exception of helmets.
From about the 18th century to the Vietnam war, men fought relatively unprotected.
The weight and cost of effective armour meant it was no longer practical to have infantrymen armoured.
The invention of carbon fibre, modern hard ceramics and various plastic compounds are suitable for light armour which is effective in many circumstances.
Kevlar, Technora and Nomex are Aramids, which are long-chain aromatic polyamides.
They are used to make bullet resistant vests and bullet resistant face masks.
The PASGT helmet and vest used by United States military forces since the early 1980s both have Kevlar as a main component, as do their replacements.
Most of these items have padding on the inside to act as shock-absorbers, and to increase comfort during while being worn.
In practice
In 1944, the Polish resistance Home Army  ().
rebelled against Nazi occupation of Warsaw.
This rebellion is known as the Warsaw Uprising () today.
The resistance Home Army wanted to free Warsaw from Nazi Germany.
The resistance army fought against German troops for 63 days.
After that, there was no chance of winning, so they surrendered.
German troops killed many civilians in the city.
After the uprising, the city of Warsaw was destroyed almost completely.
At the time of the uprising, the Red Army was stationed on the other side of the river Vistula, which runs through the city of Warsaw.
As of 2021, the question, why these troops did not take part in the fighting, is unclear.
Historians have given several theories.
The Uprising was the largest attack done by any European resistance movement of World War II.
The Slovak National Uprising, which happened from 29 August to 28 October 1944.
is comparable,
At the same time as the attack, the Soviet Union's Red Army got close to the east of the city and the German forces retreated.
However, the Soviets stopped moving forward.
This allowed the Germans to destroy the city and defeat the Polish resistance.
The Warsaw uprising began on 1 August 1944.
It was part of a big plan, Operation Tempest.
Operation Tempest started when the Soviet Army got near Warsaw.
The goals of the Polish resistance were to push the German troops out of the city.
They also wanted to free Warsaw before the Soviets arrived.
This would help the Polish Underground State to take control of the city.
At the start of the battle, the Polish resistance got control over most of central Warsaw.
By 14 September, Polish forces under Soviet command captured the east bank of the Vistula river.
