Battle of Alclud Ford
The Battle of Alclud Ford was fought in ''c.''580 at an unknown ford near Alt Clut, the original name for Dumbarton Rock which could also be used for the whole of the kingdom of Strathclyde in modern day Scotland. It is known from two poems in the Book of Taliesin.
According to Taliesin the Anglian king ''Ulph'' "came with violence on his enemies" and was met in battle and killed by Urien map Cynfarch, King of Rheged (probably Cumbria and/or Galloway), and his son Owain mab Urien, as noted in two separate poems. The Bernician attack would have been faced by spear and javelin armed horsemen, who made up the bulk of the Rhegedian warriors,〔Nicolle, David. ''Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars'' Osprey Publishing 2006 ISBN 0-85045-548-0 p18〕 whilst the Bernicians themselves would have primarily consisted of infantry as was the standard for Anglo-Saxon warriors of the period.〔Harrison, Mark. ''Anglo-Saxon Thegn AD 449-1066'' Osprey Publishing 1993 ISBN 1-85532-349-4 p12〕 Ulph was probably one of the sons of King Ida of Bernicia, most likely Theodulf,〔Ashely, Mike. ''The Mammoth Book of British Kings & Queens'' New York: Carroll & Graff 1998 ISBN 0-7867-0692-9 p274〕 which puts the battle at ''c.''574 or ''c.''590, or potentially Frithuwolf, also known as Freothulf or Frithuwald, which would put the Alclud Ford at ''c.''580.
The battle was fought at a time when Rheged was at its ascendancy, and the armies under Urien and Owain were the most powerful in the north.
