Alfred the Great – Royal Protectors Series | Official Renaissance Collector Card

The King Who Saved England

Alfred the Great, King of Wessex from 871 to 899, is the only English monarch in history to be called “the Great” — and he earned it. When the Viking Great Heathen Army swept across England and reduced the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms one by one, it was Alfred alone who stood firm, rallied his people from the Somerset marshes, and turned the tide against the most fearsome military force of the age.

His victory at the Battle of Edington in 878 saved England from complete Viking conquest and forced the Danish king Guthrum to accept baptism and a negotiated peace. But Alfred was far more than a warrior — he was a scholar, lawmaker, and visionary who translated Latin texts into English, established a network of fortified towns, built England’s first navy, and created the foundations of English law and literacy. He did not just protect his kingdom — he built it.
