Guthrum II
Guthrum II was, according to some reconstructions, a King of East Anglia in the early tenth century. He should not be confused with the earlier and better-known Guthrum, who fought against Alfred the Great.
==Background==
The only Viking ruler of the kingdom of East Anglia whose existence is beyond doubt is the earlier Guthrum. He took the baptismal name Æthelstan, died in 890 after ruling East Anglia for around ten years.〔Keynes, Rulers, 509; Keynes & Lapidge, ''Life'', pp. ?; John, ''Reassessing'', 75-6; Davis, ''Alfred the Great to Stephen'', pp. ?; ASC.〕
Until the death of Guthrum, the coins of East Anglia provide an essential guide to the rulers of the kingdom. After the killing of King Æthelberht II of East Anglia in 794, only two kings—Edmund, better known as Saint Edmund the Martyr, and Guthrum—are named in near-contemporary written records, while all others are known only from the numismatic evidence provided by surviving coins.〔Keynes, Rulers.〕 This evidence comes to an end at Guthrum's death as late East Anglian coins cease to name the king on whose orders they were minted and instead bear the name of King Edmund.〔Ridyard, ''Royal Saints'', 214ff; Lyon, "Coinage of Edward the Elder".〕 From this time forward, kings are only known from the very limited written record.
It is believed that Eohric was king of East Anglia. The beginning of his reign cannot be dated. He was killed in 902 at the battle of the Holme alongside Æthelwold of Wessex, fighting against the armies of Æthelwold's cousin King Edward the Elder. The East Anglians are recorded by the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' as signing a peace with Edward in 906 and submitting to Edward late in 917, but on neither occasion are their leaders named by the ''Chronicle''.〔Keynes; ASC; ...〕
