The King Who Saved Dark Age England

During the so-called ‘Dark Ages’, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that made up what we now call England came under threat from a band of warriors from across the sea known to us as Vikings. This could have spelled the end for Anglo-Saxon rule, but under the leadership of Alfred, the Anglo-Saxons were inspired to fight back and defend their lands. This video will examine the life of Alfred the Great and seek to illustrate why he has been remembered as a great king. ---CHAPTERS--- 0:00 Intro 0:45 Early Life 2:06 Anglo-Saxon Kingdom before Alfred 4:00 Vikings arrive 4:33 Alfred King of Wessex & early reign 6:29 Athelney 6:50 Burning the cakes 7:59 Fight back 9:40 Alfred victory & Guthrum baptism 10:09 Danelaw 10:35 Burhs 13:05 Learning 14:45 Death and legacy ---SOURCES & FURTHER READING--- Alfred the Great: Asser’s Life of King Alfred and Other Contemporary Sources- Simon Keynes and Michael Lapidge In Search of the Dark Ages- Michael Wood The Anglo-Saxons- Marc Morris Aelfred’s Britain- Max Adams Mercia- Annie Whitehead Anglo-Saxon England - Frank Stanton ----------- All images used under Creative Commons licence for education purposes only.
