EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn of English Heritage Graphics Team, we witness the pivotal moment of the Battle of Searobyrg, or Old Sarum, in 552 AD. The scene is set against the backdrop of a fortified hilltop stronghold, the ancient ruins of Old Sarum in Wiltshire, England. At the heart of the battlefield stands Cynric, the legendary King of Wessex, resolute and determined as he engages the advancing Briton forces. Cynric, a Saxon leader, is depicted in the prime of his strength, clad in intricately designed armor that reflects the craftsmanship and innovation of the early medieval period. His shield, a large, round wooden shield adorned with intricate geometric patterns, protects him from the onslaught of enemy arrows and javelins. In his right hand, he wields a long, sharp sword, its gleaming blade poised to strike down his adversaries. The Britons, clad in simple tunics and armed with a variety of weapons, charge towards Cynric and his Saxon warriors. Their shields, a mix of rectangular and round designs, offer them some protection against the Saxon onslaught. The clash of steel against steel, the cacophony of war cries, and the thunderous impact of shields against shields create an atmosphere of chaos and intensity. The fortifications of Old Sarum, a strategic stronghold, loom in the background, providing a sense of the larger conflict unfolding beyond the battlefield. The struggle for control of this vital stronghold would have significant implications for the political landscape of the region, marking a turning point in the power dynamics between the Saxons and the Britons. This drawing by Peter Dunn offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and conflict, and sheds light on the rich history of Old Sarum and the pivotal role it played in the early medieval period.
