About Fencing in Chippenham
Chippenham in Wiltshire was recorded as a royal estate as early as 853, when the Mercian king Burgred married the daughter of the West Saxon king Aethelwulf there, and it later became the setting for one of the most dramatic episodes of Alfred the Great's reign, when a Danish army led by Guthrum seized the town in a surprise attack on 6 January 878 and used it as a base to devastate Wessex. Alfred was driven into hiding in the Somerset marshes but rallied his forces, defeated Guthrum at the Battle of Edington later that year, and pursued the Danes back to Chippenham, where a 14 day siege finally forced a treaty and Guthrum's baptism.
