  • This battle is said to have resulted in much bloodshed and slaughter on both sides, to the extent that hostilities abated for a while thereafter. Some historians believe in a Saxon victory, but that is not what is mentioned in the text. The limited number of casualties is an indication that the battle was a small one. The number of warriors involved must not have reached 200 men. Wippedesfleot is thought to be Ebbsfleet in Kent, near Ramsgate. Its location made the author of Historia Brittonum think that all Saxons had now been driven out of Britain. Ramsgate is the main place upon the former island of Thanet, "which was given to the Saxons by Vortigern". It was the very place where, according to Historia Brittonum, the Saxons first landed. Gildas does not mention the battle.
