Diachronic Linguistics: Old English, 13 entries in the

Dictionary, a compromise is defined as an agreement reached by each
side making concessions." (Oxford English Dictionary) The Treaty of
Alfred and Guthrum may be considered as such a compromise since it
reflects a decisive turning point after approximately 100 years of
violent raids and brutal battles. This significant agreement is one
of the few surviving Old English or more specifically West Saxon
documents and includes very interesting details about the society,
culture as well as politics in 9th century England.
