Ivar the Boneless the
Great high King of the Vikings is dead,
killed in Ireland in 873AD and his Lothbrok
kin, Halfdan and Ubbe had traveled north to
fight the Picts and the Britons of
Strathclyde, And then to Ireland, to reclaim
the land lost by Ivar.
This left Guthrum and his fellow
Kings Anwend and Oscetel to mount another
attack on Wessex.
What kind of plan had
Guthrum hatched? We know that he moved 1,500
men quickly and with stealth and seized the
fortress of Wareham. There he was to be
joined by a huge fleet of 3,500 Vikings. A
Fortified Wareham situated on the Southern
coast of Wessex had proximity to the West
Country Fyrds of Devon and Dorset.
Guthrum would need these to bring his
enemy to battle. It would also provide a
safe harbor for his warriors that had
traveled by ship, and was also within
striking distance of Winchester, the capital
of the West Saxons and a town that Guthrum
knew that Alfred would defend at all costs.
