Background |
| |
The first leader of Wessex to self style themselves as the King of the Anglo-Saxons. Regarded as the first historic King of England. |
| |
The great plague of Justinian turned the position of royal families, states and empires upside down. Those that possessed a natural immunity held one of the greatest prizes of history and were able to seize lands, title and eventually re-write their own history in their image. |
| |
The family history claimed by Alfred is highly doubtful and it is much more likely that his family originate from Saxon pirates and mercenaries that settled along the South coast of England and suddenly found themselves at advantage during the ravages of the plague from middle of the sixth century to the end of the seventh century across England. |
| |
In any event, there is no doubt that upon becomign King, Alfred set about re-writing all manner of history including commissioning around 875/877 the highly suspect and ficticious work of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in order to establish a family tree dating back to the mythical figure of Cerdic of Wessex. |
| |
So obsessed was Alfred in ensuring his place in history that he further commissioned the wholly forged work Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons) - stolen in large part from real Irish history and Celtic legend to fashion a history of noble kings in England. |
