The Wessex Wobbler Rally (Region 14)

Who are the two members who modeled for poster :unsure:
One is King Alfred I guess the other is probably Guthrum. Alfred hung out in Wessex from about c. 886 – 26 October 899 AD. Well known for burning cakes. He won a decisive victory in the ensuing Battle of Edington which may have been fought near Westbury, Wiltshire. He then pursued the Danes to their stronghold at Chippenham and starved them into submission. One of the terms of the surrender was that Guthrum convert to Christianity. Three weeks later, the Danish king and 29 of his chief men were baptised at Alfred's court at Aller, near Athelney, with Alfred receiving Guthrum as his spiritual son...(Ref: WiKi)
