Guthrum (died c. 890) was a Danish Viking who reigned as a King of East Anglia from 879 until his death. He ruled under his baptismal name of Æthelstan, until his death.

Biography

By 873, Guthrum and his 2nd-in-command, Soma, were based in Grantebridgeshire outside Grantebridge.[1]

In January 878, following the Battle of Chippenham, Guthrum became disillusioned with the cause he was fighting for and looked to his enemies' religion for answers.[2] In May of that year, after being defeated at the Battle of Edington, Guthrum conceded to Alfred and converted to Christianity.[3]
