Alfred's achievements as the founder of English monarchy, the father of the Royal Navy, victor over the Danes, scholar and devout Christian are described here with rich illustration. Winchester, his royal Saxon capital in the heart of Hampshire, is one of the Alfredian places included in this book. Saxon laws, punishments, wildlife, defence, warfare, education and religion under the rule of Churchill's 'greatest Englishman' are brought to life in these pages.
