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.
