In search of Alfred the Great : the king, the grave, the legend
Albert, Edoardo, 1963-2014
Books, Manuscripts
Buried in 899 AD as the King of the English at his capital city of Winchester, Alfred the Great's bones were thought to have ultimately moved to an unmarked grave. His remains had been completely lost to us for centuries until researchers at the University of Winchester discovered what is in all probability a piece of his pelvis in a cardboard box. In this book, the authors seek to tell Alfred's dramatic story.
