The English Historical Review explores Edmund I’s reign and the Danish challenge in Northumbria, offering a clear look at early medieval power and borders.
In this article, Reginald L. Poole reconstructs the late 9th and early 10th centuries to explain how Edmund I’s dominions were affected by Danish rulers in York. It discusses the difficult chronology surrounding the death of Athelstan, the Norwegian and Irish connections of Anlaf Guthfrithson, and the rapid Danish incursions into Northumbria. The piece shows how Anlaf’s bid for power unfolded, the capture of York, and the subsequent negotiations that produced a boundary along Watling Street and a division of realms. Throughout, the author compares different manuscript accounts to clarify dates and events, and he situates the diplomacy within the broader West Saxon kingship.
