🚩 After the Battle of Ashdown, the Viking army was reinforced and continued the invasion, subjugating all Saxon kingdoms, except Wessex. But Alfred took on the Vikings once again, in perhaps one of the most important battles in the history of England.

Enjoyed the presentation. Thanks. I've done a little reading about this time in early English History, and what was not mentioned, but might have been, was that Alfred was a 'man of the people.' He had observed the Vikings and their habits and noted that the Vikings were largely a hit-and-miss bunch, in a manner of speaking. He had begun to advise those that would listen to constructing palisades around their towns and villages, where they could. The raiders, after figuring out that they would have to spend more time in siege tactics than they would have liked, moved off to find easier prey.

The unfortunate conquest of England in 1066 changed everything: the royal line and aristocracy was now Norman-French with most Anglo-Saxon/English either being killed or exiled, their land taken. This affected the culture and language of England, with a tilt towards more Continental (Norman/French) styles and customs. The English throne ever since has reflected those early Norman kings with a propensity of French names: Henry, Richard, William. One good Old English name that did live on in the royal dynasty was Edward!

obviously a huge subject but was surprised you didn't mention one of his key policies for success, which was the Burg system of defending a Town and how he worked out the number of men required to defend a location (one for every 5ft of wall/palisade. So Wilton had a mile of Wall to defend, so needed 1,000 men!) This system made it very difficult for the Vikings to raid, take slaves and pillage effectively as communities had a strong point to withdraw into.

Look, I'm team Viking all day obviously, but you gotta admit that Alfred was a great man in this particular instance. Weather you like him or not he never gave up, always fighting ever onward. He manages to rally his people and channeled the warrior spirit, defeating his enemy while simultaneously uniting his lands. Absolutely an epic story that commends respect and offers inspiration.

Fair enough buddy, even though you've chosen a side "even enemies can show respect" said a great king once. I don't necessarily have a side, im team truth lol. Loved the viking series but the misportrayal of the saxons was boderline criminal lol.

Great video! I love how you visually show the story. Although, it was Uhtred of Bebbanburg himself that slayed Ubba at Cynuit and burned his fleet. He then played a pivotal role in the Saxon army's victory at the Battle of Ethandun returning all of Wessex to Alfred. 😃
