The Battle of Chester (Old Welsh: Guaith Caer Legion; Welsh: Brwydr Caer), is generally agreed to have taken place in 616, as first argued by Charles Plummer, although near contemporary annals give a variety of dates. It was fought between the Northumbrians of King Æthelfrith and a number of northern ancient British kingdoms, certainly including Powys and Rhôs. Northumbria was victorious and Kings Selyf Sarffgadau of Powys and Cadwal Crysban of Rhôs were both killed in the slaughter. Circumstantial evidence suggests that King Iago of Gwynedd may also have been amongst the dead. Bede records that a large number of monks from Bangor-on-Dee "resorted...to pray at the...battle...King Ethelfrid being informed [of this]...said, "If then they cry to their God against us, in truth, though they do not bear arms, yet they fight against us, because they oppose us by their prayers." He, therefore, commanded them to be attacked first ... About twelve hundred of those that came to pray are said to have been killed". Bede thought this was divine retribution for the Welsh bishops having refused to submit to St. Augustine.
