The King that led the English in the Battle of Tempsford was born in which year?
Battle of Tempsford In 917, the group of Danes who had previously been based in Huntingdon relocated to Tempsford, together with other Danes from East Anglia. They built and fortified a new "burh" there, to serve as a forward base for attacks on English territory. Later that year, after launching an unsuccessful attack on Bedford, they were attacked by an English army led by King Edward the Elder, as part of his widespread offensive which in that year overwhelmed the Danish territories in East Anglia and south-eastern Mercia. The "burh" was stormed and a Danish king, probably that of East Anglia, was killed, along with the Jarls Toglos and Manna and many of their followers, while the rest were captured.
Thomas Percy, 1st Baron Egremont Thomas Percy, 1st Baron Egremont (29 November 1422, in Leconfield, Yorkshire – 10 July 1460, at the Battle of Northampton) was the son of Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland and Lady Eleanor Neville, being made Lord Egremont in 1449. A northern baron, he became a leading figure in the internecine Percy-Neville feud, fighting at the Battle of Heworth Moor. When the Wars of the Roses began mid-decade, Egremont fought for the king on the Lancastrian side, being killed six years later at the battle of Northampton.
