England: King Alfred the Great (r. 871-899), engraving, late 19th Century

Alfred the Great (849 26 October 899), was King of Wessex from 871 to 899.<br/><br/>. 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 10th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser.
