king of See also:East Anglia, first appears in the See also:English See also:Annals in the See also:year 875, when he is mentioned as one of three Danish See also:kings who went with the See also:host to See also:Cambridge. He was probably engaged in the See also:campaigns of the next three years, and after See also:Alfred's victory at Edington in 878, Guthrum met the king at Aller in See also:Somersetshire and was baptized there under the name of IEthelstan. He stayed there for twelve days and was greatly honoured by his godfather Alfred. In 890 Guthrum-IEthelstan died: he is then spoken of as " se noriSerna cyning" (probably) "the See also:Norwegian king," referring to the ultimate origin of his See also:family, and we are told that he was the first (Scandinavian) to See also:settle East Anglia. Guthrum is perhaps to be identified with Gormr (= Guthrum) hinn heimski or hinn riki of the Scandinavian sagas, the See also:foster-See also:father of Hortaknutr, the father of Gorm the old. There is a treaty known as the See also:peace of Alfred and Guthrum.
