Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great (c. 849- c. 899) played a truly unique role in the history of England. His personality is so unusual for its time that it was not only the British who paid tribute to him. In particular, N.V. Gogol in his youth wrote the play "Alfred the Great." Alfred the Great lived at a turning point for England, when the country, torn by internecine strife, was flooded with invaders by the Vikings. In the battle, not for life, but to death, Alfred led his compatriots and won a landslide victory. He reorganized the English army, created a fleet, administration, subjugated the small British kings to his power, founding the first royal dynasty that ruled all of England. A man of extraordinary cruelty, he never hesitated to use force and ruthlessly punished everyone who stood in his way. But that's just one side of Alfred's life. The king appreciated literary works, Latin culture, he himself translated the works of the Roman writers Boethius and Orosius into Old English. The book of the English researcher B. A. Lee is full of colorful details previously inaccessible to the domestic reader.
