Notes:

Alfred reigned as King of England from 871-899. He defeated the Danish in their attempt to conquer England at Edington in 878. He enabled the Danes to keep conquered territories in Mercia and East Anglia if the Danes' King Guthrum converted to Christianity. He then fortified against futher Danish invasion by building a navy of ships to defend himself along the southern coast as well as forts along Wessex. This apparently was needed from the years of 885-886 and again in 892-896. In 886, he gained London as a territory of England. He controlled all of England except for the territories held by Danes. (C-865, 1857)What the military strength of this "Great" King enabled him to do was to spread an amazing idea at the time that helped the world move forward. "Alfred considered learning and literacy to be crucial for the acquisition of wisdom and therefore necessary for men to live in accordance with God's will. During his reign he insisted that freedmen of adequate means learn to read English, and he himself translated Latin texts into the vernacular for the benefit of his people" Encyclopedia Britannica.

Alfred married Eahlswith OF THE GAINI in 868 in Winchester, Hampshire, ENG. Eahlswith (daughter of Earl Aethelred OF MERCIA & EADBURH and FADBURN) was born in 852; died in 902. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Alfred was one of the greatest men in history. He was crowned king at Winchester, 871; founded the British Navy; organized the Militia; compiled a code of laws; built schools and monasteries, and invited scholars to live at his court. He was a good scholar and translated many books." (C-437, p. 589)
