What treaty has a document not specifically linked to Wedmore that is a Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum, that was the result of an army of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex under Alfred the Great defeating the Great Heathen Army?
Treaty of Wedmore The Peace of Wedmore is a term used by historians for an event referred to by the monk Asser in his Life of Alfred, outlining how in 878 the Viking leader Guthrum was baptised and accepted Alfred as his adoptive father. Guthrum agreed to leave Wessex and a "Treaty of Wedmore" (sometimes called the "Treaty of Chippenham") is often assumed by historians to have existed. No such treaty still exists. However, there is a document not specifically linked to Wedmore that is a Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum.
Danegeld The Danegeld ( ; "Danish tax", literally "Dane tribute") was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. It was called the "geld" or "gafol" in eleventh-century sources. It was characteristic of royal policy in both England and Francia during the ninth through eleventh centuries, collected both as tributary, to buy off the attackers, and as stipendiary, to pay the defensive forces. The term "Danegeld" did not appear until the early twelfth century. In Anglo-Saxon England tribute payments to the Danes was known as "gafol" and the levy raised to support the standing army, for the defence of the realm, was known as "heregeld" (army-tax).
