When Churchill was alive, someone suggested that he become known as the greatest Briton, to which he replied: 'Alfred was the greatest'!

Makes me enjoy the Last Kingdom series even more.

I'm American myself but I can't get enough of English history. Seriously almost every aspect it's just so addicting. Alfred the great is hands down my favorite English King, what he did not only for the nobility, but for all of England and their future is inspiring. If ever there were a king truly picked by God, It would have been Alfred the Great.

I was born in Winchester and often admire the great statue that sits in the heart of Winchester of Alfred the Great. My mother attended King Alfred’s teaching college. I’d love if there was more history like this documentary on the city itself and it’s development
-
Yikes. That’s a rough ending. Sad to see people forgetting their ancient hero kings who had such a huge role in shaping their national identity and history. Glad to see you immortalizing and sharing the greatness of King Alfred.

He is my daughters 33 gr grandfather through the bayntun line on her fathers side. It such amazing history, was amazing to learn about him.
-
A man to look up to,we need leaders like him today.

No one does the English Monarchy better than the People Profiles.

I've been on a medieval England deep dive ever since I listened to the 'Alfred the great' episode on Hacks From the Past podcast. I could not believe that I had not heard this story before. What an amazing story! I seriously can't get enough.
-
a beautiful documentary on Alfred. I hope that there will be documentaries done on his descendants. I enjoy any history; but, early British history is a favorite.
-
Alfred is a continuing inspiration. We were lucky to have him.
-
Alfred The Great was my favorite England king. In my opinion there wouldn't be a England to this day without Alfred Rex. Much respect for Alfred from me. What a great man he was. Hands down awesome guy all around. RIP Alfred The Great. Gone but will never be forgotten in history!!!
-
Unbelievable what was done to his remains. Thank you for a very knowledgeable documentary on England's first modern king.
-
The true definition of a leader. Leading his men in combat, and defending his people. We need men like him now
-
Thank you for this. I live in Wantage and I frequently walk past the statue of King Alfred in the middle of our market place. I was inspired to learn about him, not really knowing much about him, and I found this documentary very interesting and helpful indeed. Now each time I walk past the statue of him I will really appreciate him and his legacy.
-
He layed the foundation for what we now call England, without alfred it highly likely we would all speak Danish or Norwegian.
-
This was fantastic. I'm dead set though on Brian Boru. I feel you guys can really bring his story to life. The scripts are great and fantastic job in research.

Uhtred of Babbenburg saved this guy many times.😄
