What is recorded here

The Battle of Aylesford or Epsford (Old English: Æȝelesford) was fought between Britons and Anglo-Saxons recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Historia Brittonum. Both sources concur that it involved the Anglo-Saxon leaders Hengist and Horsa on one side and the family of Vortigern on the other, but neither says who won the battle.

The Battle of Aylesford was fought in 455 AD between the Britons and the Anglo-Saxons, specifically the Jutes led by Hengist and Horsa. The Anglo-Saxons won a significant victory, which marked an important step in their expansion into southern Britain and the weakening of native British resistance.
