		Later, around 886, the Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum was created, which established the boundaries of their kingdoms and made some provision for relations between the English and the Danes.
		As a term of the surrender, King Alfred demanded that Guthrum be baptized a Christian, which he did (with King Alfred serving as his godfather).
		He was defeated, with Guthrum and Alfred agreeing to peace through the aptly named Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum.

	Danelagh - LoveToKnow 1911
		This was terminated by the peace of Wedmore in 878, when the Danes withdrew from Wessex and settled finally in East Anglia under their king Guthrum.
		This peace was finally and definitely ratified in the document known as the peace of Alfred and Guthrum, which is probably to be referred to the year 880.
		From this point the boundary is left undefined, perhaps because the kingdoms of Alfred and Guthrum ceased to be conterminous here, though if Northamptonshire was included in the kingdom of Guthrum, as seems likely, the boundary must be carried a few miles along Watling Street.

	Alfred's strategies & tactics 1
		It is furthermore argued that the document known as Alfred and Guthrum's Treaty, in which the limit of Guthrum's kingdom of East Anglia is defined by a boundary drawn to the east of London, was a contemporary record of the agreement reached between Alfred and Guthrum at this time.
		If, as Dumville argues, the terms of the Treaty implied that Guthrum ceded the whole of Essex to Alfred because it had always been part of the latter's kingdom, then it would be expected that the boundary in the Treaty would have been more-or-less coterminous with the land boundaries of Essex.
		Guthrum's army must have travelled to East Anglia at the latest by the end of October 879 (880 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle) in order to avoid too much autumnal bad weather, but after the harvest in Mercia.

		In 890 Guthrum-lEthelstan died: he is then spoken of as "se norc'S. erna 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.
