After the surprise attack in 878 AD, which was part of the Viking invasions of England, King Alfred of Wessex successfully rallied his forces against the Danes at the Battle of Edington. Following his victory, Alfred forced the Viking leader Guthrum to accept a peace treaty, leading to the establishment of the Danelaw, where the Danes retained control over certain regions. This conflict significantly strengthened Alfred's position and laid the groundwork for the eventual unification of England under a single monarchy.
