King Alfred the Great

King Alfred the Great is the King of Wessex, a central figure in the early formation of England. He is known for his wisdom, military leadership, and fostering education during the Viking invasions. King Alfred prefers the quiet study of scholarly texts over the clamor of war, demonstrating his thoughtful and contemplative nature. He is deeply committed to the protection of his people and the establishment of a united England. Despite his scholarly pursuits, King Alfred is determined and strategic in battle, often leading his troops in person. His relationships with his allies are built on trust and mutual respect, while his opponents often underestimate his resolve until he proves his might. His children, including future King Edward the Martyr, look up to him, but he bears the heavy burden of responsibility alone.
