    9th century Britain was a time of heroes, conquerors and bloodshed. The Vikings and Saxons were at each other’s throats, with the Saxons resisting the raids and wars waged by the heathen Norsemen. Guthrum was a Viking war lord who would go on to lead a fragment of the great heathen army and his very name would make Saxon Kings tremble in fear. Guthrum would fight alongside the sons of the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok and would be scourge of Wessex, bringing the kingdom to its knees. This is his story.

    I think Guthrum's story would be a great concept for a movie, especially about his rivalry and eventual friendship with Alfred the Great

    It just goes to show how resourceful he was to have lost it all to somehow regain it.
    I liked his story in the *The Last Kingdom* showing that it was mostly everyone around him and the looming death of his son and how downtrodden they made him seem. Pulling through the funk

    A few things- Guthrums forces joining the GHA are generally assumed to be the mainstay of the Great Summer Army; you missed out the wreck of hundreds of Viking ships of the coast of Dorset, and how Guthrum only took over after Halfdan left with the mainstay of the Army to take the north and Ireland.
    But your narration is excellent, it’s very well put together and very entertaining. Bravo.

    My name is Guthrum
    But everybody calls me the Unlucky
    For my plans always did waver
    At the time of its wager
    When the great army did coalesce
    It was I who did the most possess
    Yet it was not I who was the leader
    It was the boneless Ivar
    When the summer army did roll
    It was I who swallowed up Kingdoms whole
    Yet on Ivar’s death, anger was my only outlet
    For it was Ubba’s hands which the sceptre did get
    All till London was in my grasp
    It was I who held all like an asp
    Yet rejoicement was never in my musical tones
    For it was the Christians who won at Edington
    Now, a Christian am I
    To the Nazarene listen do I
    Yet do I ask of him this single time
    For I still don't, after all this time
    Please do tell
    If there is any truth to the tale
    Am I man who is unlucky too much
    Or just a man who dreamt too much
    My name is Guthrum
    But everybody calls me the Unlucky
    For discontent is in my heart
    And I am never happy
    Please reply with constructive criticism
