Alfred The Great

            Alfred the Great was the king of Wessex from 871-899. Thinking that he had a chance, he intrepidly fought the vicious vandalous Vikings. After battling fiercely with the Vikings, Alfred the Great emerged victorious and their king even converted to Christianity! He is also the only king of England who was called, “The Great” Alfred the Great became king at the age of 21 since he had four brothers that all died before him. Since he was a mighty ruler, some people call him, “the most perfect character in history!” Alfred the Great was an astute ruler, who reigned defensively, like a mother bear ready to protect her cubs.
