[edit] Which river

"this river has never been identified"
"There is good reason to believe it may have been the river now known as Cock Beck"
"the River Winwaed, which may be identified with the Went"

Which is it? :) What is the "good reason"? Where's the Went? That's a disambiguation page. Haukur 10:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Head cut off

"Bede mentions that Penda's head was cut off"... after reading Bede's account it seems to me he was talking figuratively; ie. the "head" of the heathen nation of Mercia was "cut off" with the defeat of Penda. Unless someone can provide a definitive reference to Penda's actual decapitation I'm gonna remove the statement (I mean, it's not that relevant anyways.) --Jquarry 02:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
