France
The people of Paris showed great bravery and courage in the defense of their home. In April they managed to pay Siegfred`s army to leave and the month after Charles the fat arrived with a big army. Siegfred returned, but Charles the fat was to scared to enter a "final match". The citizens of Paris were very bitter because Charles the fat paid 700 lbs silver to lift the siege, he even promised them a safe winter camp in Burgundy.
England
London was recaptured from the Danes. Alfred the Great renamed it Lundenburgh. Slightly upstream from London Bridge he build a small harbor called Queenhythe. Alfred also created London mint. Control over London was handed to Earl Aethelred who married Alfred's daughter Ethelfleda.
Bedford became a border town separating Wessex and the Danelaw.
