King Alfred the Great - A Glimpse into Medieval Royalty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases King Alfred the Great, a prominent figure in English history. Created in 1890 by an unknown artist, this portrait captures the essence of a powerful ruler from the 9th century. Alfred, known for his reign as King of Wessex and later as King of the Anglo-Saxons, played a pivotal role in shaping England's destiny. His victory at the Battle of Edington in 878 against Viking invaders marked a turning point in history. This triumph led to an agreement with the Vikings known as Danelaw, which established peace and stability within their territories. In this image, King Alfred stands tall with his majestic crown adorning his head. His regal attire includes a distinguished cloak embellished with ermine fur and an intricately designed collar. The depth captured by this engraving transports us back to medieval times when kings ruled over vast lands. The photograph is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier and published by Cassell & Company Ltd. , London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. It serves as both a historical artifact and testament to artistic expression during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrayal of royalty, we are reminded of King Alfred's indelible mark on English literature, culture, and governance. This print allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by great leaders like him.
