After Alfred and Guthrum had arranged a
truce at Exeter and with Guthrum retreating
back into Mercia.
Within five months Guthrum had reinforced
his army and on the twelfth night, while the
Saxons celebrated there holy period, Guthrum
and his Viking Allies launched a surprise
attack at Alfred’s Royal estate at
Cippanhamm.
It is here in the most inhospitable of
conditions of sea-flooded swamp, the
Sommerset Levels, that Alfred with a handful
of followers, was to make a seemingly
impregnable fortress at Althelney. It was
from that King Alfred was to launch a
guerilla campaign against his Viking
tormentors. Within five months the King’s
forces defeated the Viking Army of Guthrum
in a pitched battle at Ethandun.
Kings are of great importance in this series
of games. When they are leading the warriors
in combat your moral and thereby fighting
ability is increased, without them weakened.
Of course the loss of a King in battle can
also mean the loss of your cause. However,
in this era risks must be taken to take and
hold the crown.
