ALFRED THE GREAT
Alfred spent several years dealing with Viking invasions. After a decisive victory in the Battle of Edington in
878 Alfred made a deal with the Vikings, creating what was known as Danelaw in the North of England.
Alfred also oversaw the conversion of the Viking leader, Guthrum.
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 one of only two English monarchs to be given the epithet
"the Great", the other being the Scandinavian Cnut the Great. He was also 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
9th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser.
Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged
education, proposing that primary education be taught in English rather than Latin, and improved his
kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. In 2002 Alfred was ranked number
14 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.
