Lecture - History: Vikings and England territory:
The first English king to share land with the Vikings was
King Alfred the Great of Wessex, and the Viking leader involved in this
arrangement was Guthrum, a Danish Viking warlord.
Key Event:
Treaty of Wedmore (878):
This treaty came after Alfred's victory over Guthrum at the
Battle of Edington. Following his defeat, Guthrum and his Viking
forces were surrounded, and they agreed to negotiate peace.
Land Shared:
- The result of this peace agreement was that England was divided into two major regions:
1.Wessex and the southern regions remained under Alfred’s control.
2.Danelaw: Guthrum and his Vikings were granted control over the
eastern and northern parts of England, an area known as the
Danelaw, which included regions such as:
East Anglia
Parts of Mercia
The North, including Yorkshire(centered around the Viking-ruled
city of York)
- Guthrum himself converted to Christianity as part of the treaty and was baptized,
taking the name Æthelstan.
This division of England was one of the most significant events in
the Viking and Anglo-Saxon period, establishing a temporary peace
between the English and the Vikings while also cementing the
Vikings' presence in England.
