Bataille de Heavenfield
La bataille de Heavenfield se déroule en 634 et oppose l'armée northumbrienne d'Oswald de Bernicie aux Gallois de Cadwallon ap Cadfan, roi de Gwynedd. L'affrontement se solde par une victoire décisive d'Oswald. Les Annales Cambriae la datent de 631, sous le nom de Bellum Cantscaul. Bède le Vénérable l'appelle bataille de Denisesburna, près de Hefenfelth. Le site de la bataille est aujourd'hui marqué par une croix de pierre. L'église édifiée au sommet d'une colline proche marque l'endroit où Oswald aurait brandi son étendard.
