Camden's note states "28 The twenty-eighth is of that most famous and worthy King Ethelstan, the true progeny of such a father and grandfather. In his youth, his grandfather King Alfred saw such a spirit and indoles [innate character] in him, that he foretold, if it should please God that he came to the crown, he would perform very great actions for the good of his country; and he made him also (I think the first that we read to have received that honour in this nation) a knight, and gave him ornaments accordingly; the more likely, because Alfred also ordered the robes and ceremonies of the coronation. This prince extended his victories northward, even into Scotland: which countries, till his time, were never peaceably settled; because the two nations, Saxons and Danes, mingled together in their habitations; and yet having several kings and laws, could never be long in quiet. Upon the borders of Scotland, he fought one of the most terrible battles that ever was in England, against Anlaf King of Ireland, Constantine King of Scotland, and a very mighty and numerous army. Wherein were said to be slain five kings, seven earls or chief commanders, besides vast numbers of inferior officers and soldiers. Authors say, that King Ethelstan's valiant chancellor and general Turketill, with wonderful courage and strength, broke through the enemy's ranks, till he met with King Constantine, and slew him with his own hand. Others say that Constantine was not slain, but his son. Turketill, after all his wars and greatness, resigning his estates and wealth, repaired to the monastery of Croyland, and lived in it himself till his death. The reverse is Biorneard moneta Londonensis civitas."

Surviving examples have a weight of about 1.54 g.
