Editing Guthrum (section)

==Conversion to Christianity and peace==
Under the terms of his surrender, Guthrum was obliged to be [[baptised]]{{efn|Guthrum's baptismal name was Æthelstan on his conversion to Christianity in 878.}} in the Christian faith and then with his army leave Wessex. This agreement is known as the [[Treaty of Wedmore]].{{sfn|Attenborough|1922|pages=96–101}} Another treaty soon followed that set out the boundaries between Alfred and Guthrum's territories as well as agreements on peaceful trade, and the ''[[weregild]]'' value of its people. This is known as the [[Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum]].{{sfn|Lavelle|2010|p=326}}

Guthrum returned to East Anglia, and although there are records of Viking raiding parties in the 880s, Guthrum and his forces ceased to be a threat and he ruled for more than ten years as a Christian king for his Saxon vassals and simultaneously as a Norse king for his Viking ones. He had coins minted that bore his baptismal name of  
Æthelstan. On his death in 890, the ''[[Annals of St Neots]]'', a chronicle compiled at [[Bury St Edmunds]] in the 12th century, recorded that Guthrum was buried at [[Hadleigh, Suffolk|Hadleigh]],{{efn|Referred to as ''Headleage'' in the Annals of St Neots.{{sfn|Skeat|1913|pp=78–79}}}} [[Suffolk]].{{sfn|Dumville|Keynes|Lapidge |p=lxii|1985 }}{{sfn|Costambeys|2008}}{{sfn|Suffolk Heritage Explorer|2018}}
