The Battle of Raith was the theory of E. W. B. Nicholson, librarian at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. He was aware of the poem Y Gododdin in the Book of Aneirin and was aware that no-one had identified the location "Catraeth". He parsed the name as "cat" Gaelic for battle or fight, and "Raeth" and he recalled that there was a place in Scotland called Raith. This was an attempt at identifying the location of the Battle of Catraeth. Today this is usually recognised instead as Catterick.

  • The Battle of Raith was the theory of E. W. B. Nicholson, librarian at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. He was aware of the poem Y Gododdin in the Book of Aneirin and was aware that no-one had identified the location "Catraeth". He parsed the name as "cat" Gaelic for battle or fight, and "Raeth" and he recalled that there was a place in Scotland called Raith. Nicholson's claim was that this battle was fought in 596 AD to the west of present-day Kirkcaldy. An invading force of Angles landed on the Fife coast near Raith and defeated an alliance of Scots, Britons and Picts under King Áedán mac Gabráin of Dál Riata. This was an attempt at identifying the location of the Battle of Catraeth. Today this is usually recognised instead as Catterick. Nicholson's proposition was given added circulation when it was included in the local history book "Kirkcaldy Burgh and Schyre" by its editor and co-author Lachlan Macbean. (en)
  • La Batalla de Raith tuvo lugar en 596 al del oeste del actual Kirkcaldy. Una fuerza de invasión angla desembarcó en la costa de Fife cercana a Raith y derrotó a una alianza de escotos, britanos y pictos liderados por Áedán mac Gabráin de Dál Riata.​ Esto puede ser la batalla mencionada en el Libro de Aneirin en Y Gododdin como Catraeth (pese a que hay otros candidatos), siendo cath la palabra gaélica para batalla o lucha.​​ (es)
  • La battaglia di Raith fu uno scontro militare avvenuto nell'anno 596 tra Angli e Bretoni, Scoti e Pitti. Sulla base degli studi di , bibliotecario della Bodleian Library di Oxford, nel XIX secolo è stato riportato alla luce il poema di Y Gododdin contenuto nel Libro di Aneirin nel quale si citava un non identificato luogo definito "". Gli studi linguistici di Nicholson lo portarono a dedurre che "cat" fosse la parola usata in gaelico per "battaglia" o "combattimento", mentre "Raeth" rimandava in qualche modo alla città scozzese di Raith. Sempre secondo gli studi di Nicholson, tal battaglia venne combattuta nel 596 ad ovest dell'attuale città di Kirkcaldy. Forze d'invasione degli Angli sbarcarono sulla costa di Fife nei pressi di Raith e sconfissero un esercito alleato composto da Scoti, Bretoni e Pitti al comando di re Áedán mac Gabráin di Dál Riata. In realtà non si conoscono altri dati storici consistenti relativi allo scontro. (it)
