? He's not on that show tho?
That has Egbert, still a pretty good monarch but not Alfred.

Alfred's a baby last time I checked. A bastard too.

Wasn't he the guy that lost half of his kingdom?

Around 88, lack of education means he could not think abstract

He was the guy who pissed on the vikings parade and became the first king of england
He was also an actual english king of england

Great/200

Hes Aethelwulfs wife son, its honestly pathetic. He was time skipped in to his 20s and was elected King by the Witan after his older brother and natural son by Aethelwulf listened to his mother and declined the Witans nomination in favour of his half-brother.

Instead of him being a massive weakling nerd, educated for/destined for a monastery that was elected King because his four older brothers died he is clever because his dad was clever.

Literally the best King England has ever had.
