	East Anglia - LoveToKnow 1911
		His position was assured, at least temporarily, in 617, when he decided to espouse the cause of the Northumbrian prince Edwin, then a fugitive at his court, and defeated zEthelfrith of Northumbria on the banks of the Idle, a tributary of the Trent, in Mercian territory.
		East Anglia was subject to the supremacy of the Mercian kings until 825, when its people slew Beornwulf of Mercia, and with their king acknowledged Ecgberht (Egbert) of Wessex as their lord.
		In 870 Edmund, king of East Anglia, was killed by the Danes under I'varr and Ubbi, the sons of Ragnar Lol brok.

		The measures taken by Alfred to repress this revolt culminated in the capture of London in 885 or 886, and the treaty known as Alfred and Guthrum's peace, whereby the boundaries of the treaty of Wedmore (with which this is often confused) were materially modified in Alfred's favour.
		The Danes, finding their position on the continent becoming more and more precarious, crossed to England in two divisions, amounting in the aggregate to 330 sail, and entrenched themselves, the larger body at Appledore, England[?] and the lesser under Haesten[?] at Milton in Kent.
		While he was negotiating with Haesten the Danes at Appledore broke out and struck north-westwards, but were overtaken by Alfred's eldest son, Edward, and defeated in a general engagement at Farnham, and driven to take refuge in Thorney Island[?] in the Hertfordshire Colne, where they were blockaded and ultimately compelled to submit.

	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		Thus the armies of the Swedes and Danes go by sea to the seat of war.
		What the authorities of Tacitus heard among the continental Teutons about the mighty fleets of the Swedes may be founded on the heroic songs about the first great war not less than on fact.
		As the army which was to cross the Baltic must be regarded as immensely large, so the myth, too, has represented the ships of the Swedes as numerous, and in part as of immense size.

		The East Anglian Danes lurking just north of Essex, which was sandwiched between their territory and Kent, knew a golden opportunity when they saw one.
		It appears that these treacherous Danes were not led by Guthrum, because no mention is made of him in connection with this incident in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles or the contemporary biography of Alfred, but it is very hard to say which Danes they actually were.
		It was important to keep up a stream of aggressive, blood-boiling inspirational words to his men, both to encourage them to keep advancing into the path of expertly handled spears and swords and to make sure that they knew at all times that he was still alive.
