Eadberht, king of Northumbria, died #OTD in 768. He added Cyil (Kyle, Ayrshire) to his kingdom in 750 and joined forces with the Picts to cow the Clyde Britons in 756. Days after the latter venture his army suffered an obscure and severe defeat. In 758 he became a monk. ©CNG

‘Almost the whole army’ that Eadberht, king of Northumbria, led ‘from Ovania (Govan) to Niwanbirig (location unknown) perished’ #OTD in 756. It was nine days after a seemingly successful joint campaign with the Picts against the Clyde Britons of Dumbarton Rock. ©Eddie Mackinnon

Hercules as the Buddha’s guardian on a panel from Gandhara. The panel @walters_museum shows two scenes about the Buddha's life, neither identified. Could the upper one be the Buddha and his wife; the lower his former incarnation offering a lotus flower to the Dipankara Buddha?
