Vikings: Battle of Edington 878 - Great Heathen Army DOCUMENTARY

Despite the victory of the king of Wessex Ethelred over the Great Heathen Army at the battle of Ashdown fought in 871, Viking leaders - the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok Ubba, Halfdan, Ivar and their partner Guthrum already had control over East Anglia and Northumbria and weren't going to stop there. Mercia and Strathclyde (Alt Clut) soon fell to the Norsemen, and Wessex under its new king Alfred became the last Saxon kingdom standing in Britain. Ravaged from all sides, Alfred had to fight for his survival against Guthrum in the campaign that culminated during the battle of Edington of 878.

A few notes on the events covered in this video: 1. We don't know if Guthrum and his Great Summer army arrived in Britain before or after the battle of Ashdown. 2. It is not clear if the Danes had a complete control over the north Northumbria and Alt Clud (Strathclyde). Halfdan definitely controlled the southern part of Northumbia, but his rule was shortlived.

Nice video. Did you know that Alfred while besieging Guthrum held a feast right in front of his walls knowing full well that the later was lacking food n supplies. Guthrum's fortress was a self-maintained prison until he decided to surrender. Alfred after converting Guthrum to Christianity tried to treat him like a fellow monarch. Alfred was a very forward thinking King. Good on him. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.

And this is where I as a danish history geek comes in . Yes the Guthrum was danish . Denmark it self was devided in different kingdoms at the time . A unified dainsh state did exist untill 965. When King Harold Bluetoth extended hos power to include the danish Island of Funen and Zealand . And he also converted to christianity. So Denmark is viking creation ... But after the battle of Edington Alfred did begin to fortify hos kingdom . He built the burh system . A burh was fortified town,/settlement where soldiers lived with their families . And Alfred built them alm over his kingdom . And some of later evolved into towns . So a lot of moden towns in the south of England /Britain was actully founded by Alfred . So if viking Army attacked wessex . Alfreds Army woud only be under 3 days march away . In 886 Alfred attacked London and conquered the City . To nettet defend it . He moved the population from the saxon city of London (present day Aldwych ) and moved Them into the roman city. The present day City of London district ... At the same time London got its own burh. And today that is the southwark distrct . So southwark started as settlement outside London . By the London grow and absorbed it in later times ....

[@elliottg.1954]

Great video, thanks. There is a lot of support for Countisbury Windhill (Exmoor) being the arx Cynuit/Cynwit in AD 878. There have been several claims to the arx Cynuit site; Countisbury’s Iron Age promontory hillfort scheduled monument at Wind Hill (SS7449),and nearby Old Burrow, have a strong case. Wind Hill (260 meters) - the largest Hillfort promontory in England - was obviously accessible and worth defending. Near the present B3234 road, it had a coastal hillfort stronghold since the Iron Age kingdom of the Dumnonii Celts. We cannot know from here how the Vikings reached Wind Hill, though many sources including the National Trust, and Robert Higham in his “Making Anglo Saxon Devon”, claim Countisbury Hill near Lynmouth as the “location of the Viking siege led by Ubba, one of the commanders of the Great Heathen Army that invaded Anglo-Saxon England in the 860s.”

Another great video. I just realized from this video that King Alfred's campaign against the Vikings led by Guthrum seems to closely resemble what happened in Mexico in 1862. Two armies of French troops (5,000-6,000 men) and Mexican Conservatives (7,000 strong) were ready to destroy the Mexican Liberals by encirclement. But, because of the Mexican Liberals' risky decision to split their forces into two divisions to combat the double threat, they won two resounding victories against both forces, forestalling any hopes for a quick conquest by France.
