[edit] The Kingdom of Guthrum

The Kingdom of Guthrum the Old corresponds to modern East Anglia and The Fens and was the southern part of the Danelaw in the 9th Century. The northern border was the River Ouse and the southern border was the River Thames. The western boundary with English Mercia is a diagonal that approximates the route of the modern M1 motorway.

Through the family line of Guthorm or Guthrum as the English called him, is still alive through the name Goodram, I have found that the name guthrum had slight changes from the 9th century, it was not until the Industrial revolution that the Goodrams from East Anglia came to Bolton in North West of England.
