He is said to have died during the Battle Of Aylesford in Kent, and a monument was raised in his memory. White Horse Stone near Maidstone is the traditional site. Twin warriors are a common theme in Folklore , and because our earliest witness to Horsa's existence, Bede , mentions a stone existed that recorded his name, recent scholars have speculated that his name came from a Roman inscription which was illegible except for part of the Latin word for cavalry -- ''cohort''.
