Penselwood, battle of, 1016. An encounter in the struggle for the crown between
Edmund Ironside and
Cnut after the death of
Æthelred. The place is given in the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as Peonnan near Gillingham and has consequently been identified as in Kent or at Penselwood on the Dorset–Somerset border. A case can be made out for each. Penenden Heath in Kent (pronounced ‘Pennendn’) is 4½ miles south of Gillingham. Cnut certainly besieged London in the course of 1016, while the battle of
Sherston, later in the summer, was in Wiltshire. The result at Penselwood was inconclusive but the Danish victory at
Ashingdon, closely followed by Edmund's death in November 1016, left Cnut master of the kingdom.
