Siege of Exeter (c. 630)
Legendary 7th-century battle in Brythonic chronicles
According to some early medieval sources, the siege of Exeter or siege of Caer-Uisc was a military conflict that took place in or around 630 CE, between the Mercians, led by Penda of Mercia, and the Britons occupying Caer-Uisc (Exeter) in the kingdom of Dumnonia. Penda is said to have laid siege to the town until the exiled British High King Cadwallon of Gwynedd arrived to confront him.
