Baptism of King Guthrum, 878 (1864). Artist: James William Edmund Doyle
Baptism of King Guthrum, 878 (1864). Guthrum (d890) was the Danish king who fought against King Alfred the Great of Wessex. In 878, after Alfred (849-899) defeated Guthrum at the Battle of Edington, the two kings agreed the Treaty of Wedmore which established the borders of their respective kingdoms. Guthrum converted to Christianity with King Alfred as his godfather. He was christened with the English name Aethelstan and was acknowledged as the King of East Anglia. From a private collection
