From the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 890:
Here abbot Beornhelm took the donations of the West Saxons and of King Alfred
to Rome. And Guthrum passed away, the northern king whose baptized name was
Athelstan (he was King Alfred’s godson). And he lived in East Anglia and
[of the Danes] settled that land first. And in this same year the [Danish] army
went from the Seine to St Lo, that is between the Bretons and the Franks, and
the Bretons fought against them, and had victory, and drove them out into a
river, and many were drowned.
