More Details
Soldier, statesman and scholar, Alfred the Great is celebrated as one of Britain's most successful and heroic kings. In this biography, Professor Smyth explores the life of a remarkable man. His conclusion is controversial: he argues that Asser's Life of Alfred, hitherto the most important source of our knowledge about Alfred, may have been a late medieval forgery. This revelation has profound implications for our understanding of the whole of Anglo-Saxon history.
