Information[]

Alfred the Great was an English (Saxon) ruler in the 9th century. He is less known outside Britain, but he had a great role in guarding the country. He liked poetry, but soon emerged as a ruler, when his two brothers agreed him to be the King. Alfred had to show his military skills against the invading Danish and Viking armies, who threatened Britain across the sea. Alfred was the one to form a loyal militia, which was mandatory for every citizen to enter, unless they paid a large fine.
