The First Battle of Alton was a skirmish in 1001 between the English and the Vikings. According to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle it took place at somewhere called, in Old English, Æthelingadene. Traditionally, the site was believed to have been what is now Alton, Hampshire. However, it is thought more likely to have been in the East and West Dean area of modern day West Sussex.
