The Battle of Hehil was a battle won by a Briton force, probably against the Anglo-Saxons of Wessex around the year 720. The location is unknown, except that it was ''apud Cornuenses'' ("among the Cornish"). ==Sources== The only direct reference to the battle appears in the ''Annales Cambriae''. A translation from the original Latin is as follows: The battle of Hehil among the Cornish, the battle of Garth Maelog, the battle of Pencon among the South Britons, and the Britons were the victors in those three battles.〔Ingram, James. ''s:The Annals of Wales A''. Everyman Press (London), 1912.〕〔For the original Latin for both the A & B texts, see: Annales Cambriae at the Latin Wikisource. 〕 The ''Annales Cambriae'' are undated but Phillimore placed the entry in the year 722.〔Harleian MS. 3859. Op. cit. Phillimore, Egerton. ''Y Cymmrodor'' 9 (1888), pp. 141–83. 〕 Although the source does not specifically identify the Anglo-Saxons as the enemy in all three cases, it has been claimed that the failure to specify the enemy was simply because this was so obvious to all, and that any other combatants would have been named. The battle is not mentioned in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' and it has been speculated that this is because Wessex was defeated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Hehil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
