In this study, I would like to pinpoint the location of the Battle of Brunanburh, which was one of the main battles in the history of the British Isles. To do that this article was
distributed in four parts. The first part will tell the events, which lead to the battle. It will help us to define the motives of the participating armies. After that, a criteria system will be created to filter essential information, leading us to the location of the battle. At the end, I will make my conclusions.
