The battle of Kestheven was during the time of Danes and Saxons fighting with each other. The men of the swamps and fens rose to arms when a large force of Danes arrived to plunder and battle with those who opposed them. So the men of the swamps and fens rose to arms under the command of Algar they had a few thousand and enough to defeat the Danes. So when the Danes charged forward they where defeated and pushed back and defeated. Then Algar commanded his men not to pursue the Danes. Seeing there trick fooled gather their reinforcements and when the Saxons saw them coming retreated at least a great amount of them did the rest held there ground outnumbered 3 to 1 it came to 4 men and one managed to hack his way out the three others fought to the last. If the Saxons and't retreated they would have won anyway that's all for today.
