	In January 878, Goodwin accompanied Alfred to [[Wareham]], where ~~the king~~ met with the [[Great Heathen Army]] led by [[Guthrum]] to secure a peace treaty, as the Vikings planned to besiege the town and advance towards Wincestre. During the negotiations, Guthrum was joined by Eivor and the two parties got into a heated argument as Eivor recalled Alfred and Goodwin's treachery in Wincestre. In the end, the Vikings were offered a {{Wiki\|Danegeld}} and agreed to leave Wareham, ~~though~~ after ~~the king~~ informed them of [[Ubba Ragnarsson]]'s death at the [[Battle of Cynwit]], Eivor and Guthrum went back on their word and burned Wareham.<ref name="Kingdom's End">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Kingdom's End]]</ref>		In January 878, Goodwin accompanied Alfred to [[Wareham]], where they met with the [[Great Heathen Army]] led by [[Guthrum]] to secure a peace treaty, as the Vikings planned to besiege the town and advance towards Wincestre.
