Excerpt: The Battle of Ethandun or Edington is where the forces of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex under Alfred the Great defeated a Danish army led by Guthrum the Old between 6 and 12 May AD 878. The first Viking raid on Anglo-Saxon England, is thought to have been between AD 786 and 802 at Portland in the Kingdom of Wessex, when three Norse ships arrived and killed the local kings reeve. At the other end of the country, in the Kingdom of Northumbria, during AD 793 the Holy Island of Lindisfarne was raided. After the sacking of Lindisfarne the raids around the coasts were somewhat sporadic till the 830's, when the attacks became more sustained. In 835, heathen men ravaged Sheppey. In 836, Ecgberht of Wessex fought against a force of thirty-five ships at Carhampton, and in 838 he faced a combined force of Vikings and Cornishmen at Hingston Down, in Cornwall. The raiding continued and with each year became more and more intense. In 865/866 it escalated further on the arrival of, what the Saxons called, the Great Heathen Army. Whose size has been estimated at being between five hundred and a thousand men, under the leadership of the brothers Ivar the Boneless, Ubbe Ragnarsson, and Halfdan Ragnarsson. What made this army different from those before it was its intent. Its arrival began "a new stage, that of conquest and residence." By 870, the northmen had conquered the kingdoms of Deira and East Anglia, and in 871 they attacked Wessex. Of the nine battles mentioned by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle during that year, only one was a West Saxon victory; but in this year Alfred succeeded his brother Ethelred, who died after the Battle of Merton.
