From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the battle between Edmund II Ironside and Canute the Great, see Battle of Otford (1016).

The Battle of Otford was a battle fought in 776 between King Offa of Mercia and the Jutes of Kent at Otford in the English county of Kent.

Although the outcome of the battle is not recorded, the re-establishment of Kent as an independent kingdom implies that the battle was won by Kent.
