• Notes

  King Alfred (or more properly Ælfred) is the only English king ever to receive the title "The Great" which epithet he earned for his stalwart resistance to the Danes, his wise government, his law-making, and his revival of English arts and culture and education. He was the first King of Wessex to be called "King of England". Reign: 871-899. http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Alfred_the_Great_(849-899); 20 Mar 2019
