King Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to 899. 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 the only English monarch to be accorded the epithet "the Great". Alfred was 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. Alfred's reputation has been that of a learned and merciful man who encouraged education and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. [more]

The Britons. The Present English Race Has Gradually Shaped Itself Out Of Several Distinct Peoples Which Successively Occupied Or Conquered The Island Of Great Britain. The Earliest One Of These Peoples Which Need Here Be Mentioned Belonged To The Celtic Family And Was Itself Divided Into Two Branches. The Goidels Or Gaels Were Settled In The Northern Part Of The Island, Which Is Now Scotland, And Were The Ancestors Of The Present Highland Scots. On English Literature They Exerted Little Or No Influence Until A Late Period. The Britons, From Whom The Present Welsh Are Descended, Inhabited What Is Now England And Wales; And They Were Still Further Subdivided, Like Most Barbarous Peoples, Into Many Tribes Which Were Often At War With One Another. Though The Britons Were Conquered And Chiefly Supplanted Later On By The Anglo-Saxons, Enough Of Them, As We Shall See, Were Spared And Intermarried With The Victors To Transmit Something Of Their Racial Qualities To The English Nation And Literature.
