Stenton, Anglo-Saxon England, p. 207–208; Kirby, Earliest English Kings, p. 165. The cause of the conflict is also unknown: if Offa was ruling Kent before 776, the battle of Otford was probably a rebellion against Mercian control. Source: Internet

The absence of nightingales in Otford is also ascribed to Becket, who is said to have been so disturbed in his devotions by the song of a nightingale that he commanded that none should sing in the town ever again. Source: Internet
