GUTHRUM (GoDRUM) (d. 89o)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 742 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUTHRUM (GoDRUM) (d. 89o) , king of
East
  Anglia, first appears in the
English
  Annals in the year 875, when he is mentioned as one of three Danish kings who went with the host to
Cambridge
 . He was probably engaged in the
campaigns
  of the next three years, and after Alfred's victory at Edington in 878, Guthrum met the king at Aller in 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
Norwegian
  king," referring to the ultimate origin of his family, and we are told that he was the first (Scandinavian) to settle
East
  Anglia. Guthrum is perhaps to be identified with Gormr (= Guthrum) hinn heimski or hinn riki of the Scandinavian sagas, the foster-father of Hortaknutr, the father of Gorm the old. There is a treaty known as the peace of Alfred and Guthrum.
