BOOK I. CHAP. IIL Qormo at- tempts to conquer King Alfred, A.D. b"5. Treaty with Alfred, A.D. 876. Gormo, with Eollo of Normandy, assails King Alfred. -12 THE SCANDINAVIANS, AND hostages, and swore "that he would be ready to resign the kingdom " on whatever day they would have it. Elated by this success, and contemplating further conquests, " the three kings, Godrum, Oscytel, and Anwynd, went with a large army from Repton to Grantabridge " ! to take possession of Wessex. There they remained for a year, and Alfred, unable to expel these invaders, " ratified a treaty of peace with them (in A.D. 876), and gave them money, and they gave him hostages, and swore oaths to him on the holy ring, which they never before would do to any nation, that they would speedily depart his kingdom." 2 Nevertheless these oaths were either violated by some or not considered binding by part of the army, as war again commenced between Alfred]and Gormo, who was now assisted by the celebrated Hollo of Normandy. 3 In 878 another treaty was concluded, by which the Gormo made King of East Anglia, A.D. 4 boundaries of East Anglia were defined and ; Gormo, consenting 878; hence called 'Enske' or "English." to be baptized, "took the name of Athelstan as he came out of the baptismal font," 5 being called " Enske," or of England, by northern writers, 8 1 Sax. Chron. 875. Godrum is a corruption of the name Gormo, and Oscytel of Ketell, a name celebrated in the Sagas. Anwynd is called Annuth by Ethelwerd, Amund by Asser, and Anwend in the Saxon Chronicle. 8 Sax. Chron. 876. Asser says " they swore oaths on Christian relics." Possibly Alfred required that they should be bound both by the Christian and Pagan form of swear- ing. Crymogcea, Hamburg, 1614, p. 76.

The Christian BOOK i. by Gormo now resigned his Pagan kingdom of Denmark 2 to his son, Harald, and, settling in East Anglia, " apportioned it among his followers." 3 Rollo, who Roiio returns refused to be baptized, retired into Normandy with many of the Pagan Northmen, 4 including Oscytel, or Ketell, and Anwynd, of whom we hear no more in England. When Gormo left E-epton with his division of the army, Haifdene, with the remainder, marched into Northumbria "and took up his winter quarters by y e ' A' 1 the River Tyne," and having subdued all that part " of the land " he afterwards spoiled the Picts and 5 Strathclyde Britons." His object may have been to conquer all the territory overrun by Ivar, or he was provoked by the Picts who had attacked the Danes in 874, 6 and by the treachery of the Scots, who had slain Eystein (or Ostin), the son of Aulaf, for it is recorded in the Annals of Ulster that, " Osten Mac Aulaf, King of the Normans, was killed by a stra- tagem of the A Ibanaich ." 7 In this expedition Haifdene compelled " Ruaidhri, son of Mormend, King of the to Ireland for Britons, to fly into Ireland," 8 whither the shrine of M Colurn Cille and his relics in general were brought for safety." 9 1 Book of Rights, p. xL Ann. fi Ann. 4 Mast., 874.
