Tennyson's poetic version of the Battle of Brunnanburh was largely taken from the prose translation by his son, Hallam. It was first published in Ballads and Other Poems in 1880. Despite the poetic meter differing from the original, it retains the alliterative style, and is quite acceptable for use within the SCA.
