     Ælfræd, King of Wessex was born between 846 and 849 at Wantage, Oxfordshire, EnglandG.4 He was the son of Æðelwulf, King of Wessex and Osburga (?) He married Eahlwið, Princess of Mercia, daughter of Æthelred 'Mucil', Ealdorman of the Gainas and Eadburga, Princess of Mercia, between 868 and 869.5 He died between 25 October 899 and 28 October 899.6 He was buried at Newminster Abbey, Winchester, Hampshire, EnglandG.6

     He helped his brother gain a great victory over the Danes at Ashdown in 871. Alfred organised the army and was the founder of the English Navy. By 877 the Danes had occupied London and reached Gloucester and Exeter, but they lost 120 supply ships in a fierce storm off Swanage. In 878 he was forced to hide in Somerset and it was there arose the legend of the burned cakes. He renewed the fight and won a famous victory at Edington in Wiltshire the same year. After, the Danes agreed that their king, Guthrum, should be baptised and Alfred was godfather. Afterwards Guthrum ruled Mercia but acknowledged Alfred as Overlord. The Mercian settlement developed over the next 100 years into the body known as Danelaw. Before that, in 879 at Fulham and also near Rochester in 884, other Norse armies landed. Alfred continued fighting until he was the acknowledged champion of the English against the Danes. Alfred was scholarly, a writer, law-maker, pious and also a valiant fighter. Additionally he had a good knowledge of geography. He was a most able administrator and also instituted educational programmes. He founded monasteries and gave a large part of his income to charities.

Æthelstan, Sub-King in Kent, Essex, Sussex and Surrey1

     Æthelstan, Sub-King in Kent, Essex, Sussex and Surrey was born circa 839. He was the son of Æðelwulf, King of Wessex and Osburga (?)1 He died circa 850.
     He held the office of Sub-king in Kent, Essex, Sussex and Surrey between 839 and 851.1 Although some sources cite Athelstan as Ethelwulf's eldest son, he has almost certainly been confused with Athelstan, son of Egbert, as the details of his life are identical. Therefore, it is improbable that Ethulwulf actually had a son called Athelstan.2
