LEGEND OF KING ALFRED THE GREAT
A real King of Wessex and overlord of England from 871
to 899, he was known as Alfred the Great. But most of us
remember him only for the story, first told 200 years after
his death, of the day he allowed a peasant woman's
cakes to burn over the fire while he, in hiding from the
Danes, dreamed of defeating them. She scolded him for
a sluggard, little realising who he was.
Alfred had a great belief in encouraging writing and
learning in English, rather than Latin. He gathered
scholars around him and translated works of history and
philosophy himself.
King Alfreds military exploits were also legendary. He
led battles against the invading Danes for over 30 years,
eventually forcing them back across the sea.
