The baptismal font that swallowed a Viking warlord's name
This episode explores the astonishing story of a Viking warlord who, after years of conquest, adopted a Christian name and became a godson to his former enemy. It delves into the complex events that led to this unexpected turn, leaving listeners to ponder the true nature of this transformation.
Person: Guthrum
Date: 878
Location: Aller, Somerset
Event: Baptism of Guthrum
Country: England
- Guthrum, born in Denmark around 835, was a nephew of Horik II and had a failed claim to the Danish succession.
- He arrived in England with the Great Summer Army in April 871, joining a Viking force that had been reshaping the country for six years.
- On January 6, 878, Guthrum's forces attacked Chippenham, forcing King Alfred to flee into the Somerset marshes.
- Alfred sheltered at Athelney, where he built a small fortress, while the assumption grew that Wessex had fallen.
- After a fourteen-day siege, Guthrum's stronghold opened, and he sued for terms, which included baptism and receiving a Christian name.
