About Battle Of Dun Nechtain
The Battle of Dun Nechtain or Battle of Nechtansmere was fought between the Picts, led by King Bridei Mac Bili, and the Northumbrians, led by King Ecgfrith, on 20 May 685. The Northumbrian hegemony over Northern Britain, won by Ecgfrith's predecessors, had begun to disintegrate.
