Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

This clip, Courtesy of Beds Archives, shows that the PC stadium will be half in Anglo Saxon Wessex and half in Danish East Anglia (Danelaw). The first mention of Luton aggro too

"The Lea was part of the boundary of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from the Danish Kingdom of East Anglia [the Danelaw]. The boundary ran from the city of London up the Lea as far as Luton, then in a straight line to Bedford. The river is mentioned in the Chronicle for the year 895 [or 896 in some manuscripts], which reads: "And in the same year the aforesaid army [the Danes] made a fortress by the Lea, 20 miles above London". One wonders how far this was from Luton. In 913 [or 914 or 916] the Chronicle records: "In this year the [Danish] army from Northampton and Leicester rode out after Easter [28th March] and broke the peace, and killed many men at Hook Norton [Oxfordshire] and round about there. And then very soon after that, as the one force came home, they met another raiding band which rode out against Luton. And then the people of the district became aware of it and fought against them and reduced them to full flight and rescued all that they had captured and also a great part of their horses and their weapons". If only we knew where this battle happened!"
