King Alfred the great feared that the fleets arrival could create tensions with the Danish settlers in north east England. Alfred made an effort to avoid a battle and he was a success negotiating a peace treaty with one of the chieftains, Hastings. Hastings even agreed to be baptized together with his sons. The peace treaty with Hastings did not stop the viking raids they continued and the Angles and Saxons finally realized that it was not possible to enter treaties with the vikings.

Gokstad ship

Orkney Islands
Sigurd the mighty of Orkney, was killed by an enemy he`d beheaded several hours earlier. He`d tied Melbridge Tooth `s head to his horse`s saddle, but while riding home one of its protruding teeth grazed his leg. Sigurd later died of the infection, a scratch from part of a corpse can easily cause blood poisoning. Sigurd’s son, Guttorm, succeeded him but died only a year later.
