Note 1004 — Chapter XIV · THE NORWEGIAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF STAMFORDBRIDGE.[928]
Reading edition
Æthelred (405) says, “In loco qui tunc Steinfordebrigge, nunc autem ex rei eventu etiam Pons Belli dicitur.” So the De Inventione, cap. 20; “Rediens a Ponte Belli, quod a bello cognomen.” The older name is now the only one known, but the battle is by no means forgotten on the spot.
