    The cleverness of Anglo-Saxon folklore is subtle at times, yet bold at others. The first story gives me the impression that if you memorize something, then you have it. Any of the children that memorized it, received the book. 😁

    Wait...a four-year-old...memorizing all that? Brilliance. And a wonderful philosophy that stemmed from it.
    It's hard to pay attention to all your points about his traveling music...because the drone footage is so awesome! Great problem to have.
    Wonderful story about the loaves!
    What an innovator.
    Do you know why the tower was triangular? Was it something about his own journey? Was it trinitarian in motivation?

    The Starting point would appear to be Stourhead Gardens, Stourton, Wiltshire would love to know the exact route taken with some place names included. Lovely video and enthusiastic commentary.

      There are many trails up to the Tower. Anything from 1/4 mile to 9+ miles. The one I specifically took starts at the old water wheel where I begin talking about Alfred. The route is well marked all the way up to the tower. 🙂
      Thank you so much for watching!! So glad you enjoyed!

    King Alfred the father of monarchy,his time was hard as he lived in times when there was no progress in art ,politics and economy,but he managed all of them and showed off he is king.
    Alfred the founder of monarchy,he was brought up by his mother,she taught him poetry and art,latter on he became a good soldier also and fought against vikings and defeated them,The Alfreds tower is built way back long ago ,it's having the air of castle around green fields ,his character was generous,kind and humble one,by and large he was a literary king of England

    This was sooo good!!!!!! Now I understand some of the things they put into the Last Kingdom! They had a similar scene where he burnt the bread!!!!
    I assume he didn’t actually have an Uthred?? Lol this video made me like him even more. I’m excited to read the book I got about him. ❤❤❤❤
