Anwend was a Dane king and ally to Guthrum.

In the late 870s, Anwend and king Oscetel were sailing in to Roman ruins on the River Exe from East Anglia with more than two hundred longships under their command. This fleet would assist Guthrum's army in providing two secure positions from which to attack Devon, Wiltshire, and Winchester.[1] However, a storm at sea sunk one hundred and twenty longships, drowning over three thousand warriors, including both kings, before they could arrive at the ruins.[2]
