	The battle in which Æthelred sustained his fatal wound varies between ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' and its cross-media publications. Alfred's in-game [[database]] entry states that the wound was from the ~~battle~~ of Merton, a historically-documented event, while the 2020 novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' places it during the immediately preceding and fictitious ~~battle~~ of Bedwyn. The reason for this discrepancy has not yet been explained.		The battle in which Æthelred sustained his fatal wound varies between ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' and its cross-media publications.
