| | |  Alfred the Great: Encyclopedia II - Alfred the Great - Childhood
Alfred was born sometime between 847 and AD 849 at Wantage in Berkshire, the fourth son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex (Æþelwulf), most likely by his first wife, Osburh. He succeeded his brother, Ethelred I (Æþelræd I), as King of Wessex and Mercia in 871.
He seems to have been a child of singular attractiveness and promise, and tales of his boyhood were remembered. At five years old, in 853, he is said to have been sent to Rome, where he was confirmed by Pope Leo IV, who is also said to have "anointed him as king." Later writers to ...

| | | | Alfred the Great: Encyclopedia II - Alfred the Great - Public life During the short reigns of his two eldest brothers, Ethelbald and Ethelbert, nothing is heard of Alfred. But with the accession of the third brother, Ethelred, in 866 the public life of Alfred began, and he began his great work of delivering England from the Danes. It is in this reign that Asser applies to Alfred the unique title of secundarius, which seems to show a position akin to that of the Celtic tanist, a recognized successor, closely associated with the reigning prince. It is likely that this arrangement was sanctioned ...
