First Battle of Beruna First Battle of Beruna The First Battle of Beruna is a fictional battle in C. S. Lewis' fantasy series "The Chronicles of Narnia". It is fought in Narnia at the edges of the Great River near the Fords of Beruna, in the year 1000 according to Lewis' Narnian timeline. It is the climactic battle of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" and one of several battles in the Chronicles of Narnia. The Battle is not named in "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe". It is first called the "Battle of Beruna" in "Prince Caspian". The word "first" has
The Chronicles of Narnia "Narnia" stories. Lewis maintained that the "Narnia" books were not allegorical, preferring to term their Christian aspects a "supposition". "The Chronicles" have, consequently, a large Christian following, and are widely used to promote Christian ideas. However, some Christians object that "The Chronicles" promote "soft-sell paganism and occultism" due to recurring pagan imagery and themes. In later years, both Lewis and the "Chronicles" have been criticised (often by other authors of fantasy fiction) for gender role stereotyping, though other authors have defended Lewis in this area. For example, Lucy gets a healing potion and a dagger, while Peter gets a sword.
