King Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England. He is the only English monarch to be accorded the epithet "the Great". Alfred was the first King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the Anglo-Saxons". Details of Alfred's life are described in a work by the 10th century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser. Alfred's reputation has been that of a learned and merciful man who encouraged education and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. [mehr]

Living in the Present Days Of Peace And Tranquillity It Is Difficult To Picture The Life Of Our Ancestors In the Days Of King alfred, When The Whole Country Was For Years Overrun By Hordes Of Pagan Barbarians, Who Slaughtered, Plundered, And Destroyed at Will. You May Gain, Perhaps, A Fair Conception Of The State Of Things If You Imagine That At The Time Of The Great Mutiny The English Population Of India Approached that Of The Natives, And That The Mutiny Was Everywhere Triumphant.

A Low Hut Built Of Turf Roughly Thatched With Rushes And Standing On The Highest Spot Of Some Slightly Raised Ground. It Was Surrounded By A Tangled Growth Of Bushes And Low Trees, Through Which A Narrow And Winding Path Gave Admission To The Narrow Space On Which The Hut Stood. The Ground Sloped Rapidly. Twenty Yards From The House The Trees Ceased, And A Rank Vegetation Of Reeds And Rushes Took The Place Of The Bushes, And The Ground Became Soft And Swampy. A Little Further Pools Of Stagnant Water Appeared Among The Rushes, And The Path Abruptly Stopped At The Edge Of A Stagnant Swamp, Though The Passage Could Be Followed By The Eye For Some Distance Among The Tall Rushes. The Hut, In Fact, Stood On A Hummock In The Midst Of A Wide Swamp Where The Water Sometimes Deepened Into Lakes Connected By Sluggish Streams. [mehr]
