Guthorm's Invasion of Wessex - Related activitiesWriting ChroniclesGuthorm's invasion of Wessex really happened. We know about it because people like Asser wrote about it in chronicles (like diaries) during or right after the time it happened. Other historians, many years later, also wrote about what they heard had happened from other people. And archaeologists are still at work in England using artifacts (pieces of pottery, weaponry, bone, and even cloth) they find buried in the dirt to find out more about the vikings in England. Imagine you are one of the people below. Write a diary entry about what happened to Guthorm and his fighter-farmers after they settled in East Anglia. As one of the characters below, be sure to report on the evidence you used for your entry.
