Alfred: '''Alfred''' ([[849]]-[[901]]), king of the West-Saxons, the sou of Ethelwulf; born at Wantage; sent to Home, where Leo IV hallowed him to king, 853, returning to England in 856; no attempt was made to set him on the throne on his father's death, though he perhaps bore the title of secuudarius during his brothersreigns; assisted his brother, Ethelred I, against the Danes, and fought at JSscesdun, Basing, and Mertou (871); succeeded his brother, defeated the Danes at Wilton, and obtained a respite by concluding a treaty, 871; the legendary account of the liarshness of his early rule and of his three years sojourn in hiding at Glastonbury untrustworthy in its particulars and largely mythical; called to meet, according to authentic history, the second great invasion of the I Danes in December 878, headed by Guthrum, who overran ! Somerset without opposition; gathered a small company, j with which he took post at Athelney; seven weeks later j defeated the Danes at Ethandun (seemingly Edington i in Wiltshire), on which peace followed (Guthrum being j baptised and assigned a dominion in the north and east j of England roughly speaking, the part beyond Watling Street under the nominal overlordship of Alfred); war with Guthrum renewed in 884 by JElfred; acquired London, which he fortified and about the same time received the submission of the Angles and Saxons throughout Britain, as well as of several princes of Wales; assailed, after a few years of comparative quiet, by another great host of Northmen, who were joined by the Danes of EastAnglia in 894. War raged in all parts of England until 897, when the invaders withdrew, and Alfred, by im- j proving liis ships, put an end to the ravagings of the smaller vikings. Alfred died on 28 Oct. 901, and was ! buried at New Minster (afterwards Hyde Abbey) at I Winchester. His wife Ealhswith survived him. Alfred not only saved Wessex from the perils of the Scandinavian invasions, but made his kingdom a centre for the deliverance and union of the whole country. The stress of the times naturally strengthened the royal authority. Much of the fame of Alfred's institutions is legendary. His legislation consisted simply in selecting the best of the laws of the earlier kings, but the account of his division of England into hundreds and shires may have some basis in a reorganisation of southern Mercia. jElf red's promotion of learning is perhaps the most distinctive feature of his rule. His foundation of schools at Oxford is fabulous, but he brought to Wessex the best scholars of the time, including Plegmund, Werfrith, Grimbold, John the Old-Saxon, Asser, and John Scotus Erigena. Men of eminence in any useful art, like the seafaring Othhere, were also encouraged. The time of I his own greatest literary activity lay between 886 and; 893. His chief writings were Ms translations of Boethius 'Consolation of Philosophy of the histories of Baeda and ! Orosius and of the * Pastoral Care of Gregory the Great, j His Boethius was edited by Samuel Fox in 1864; his Bseda is printed in Smith's edition of 1 722; his Orosius was edited by Dr. Bosworth in 1851, and his Gregory's Pastoral by Henry Sweet for the Early-English Text Society in 1871-2. These works were not merely translations; they were carefully recast in a thoroughly English spirit, so that they form a part of the country's earliest literature. .KLFRFJ) (d. 1036), eetheling; younger son of Ethelred II and Emma; fled to Normandy with his brother Eadward on conquest of England by Sweyn, 1013; after death of Cnut (1035) landed at Dover, and was captured at Guildford by Godwin.

Ten other works of his survive.

Jelfric: '''Jelfric''' (fl. [[1050]]), archbishop-elect of Canterbury ; rejected by Eadward for Robert of London.

Throughout her reign the queen favoured tory and high church principles, regarding it as her right to appoint her ministers according to her own choice; and the final estrangement of the Duchess of Marlborough was largely due to the duke's persistent advice to replace tory ministers by whigs, on the ground that the tory minis-try was unfavourable to the war of the Spanish succession. She evinced particular interest in the church, and endeavoured to take the ecclesiastical patronage of the crown into her own hands. In 1704 she granted the crown revenues from tenths and first-fruits to form, for the benefit of the church, a fund known asQueen Anne's Bounty and, in 1711, an act was passed on her recommendation for the building of fifty churches in London.
