The Life of King Alfred is a historical biography written by Asser Bishop of Sherborne, chronicling the life and reign of King Alfred the Great, one of England's most celebrated monarchs. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section covering Alfred's early life, his ascension to the throne, and his struggles against the invading Vikings. The second part of the book focuses on Alfred's achievements as a ruler, including his establishment of a legal code and his efforts to promote education and literacy in England. Asser's account of Alfred's life is considered to be one of the most detailed and reliable sources of information about the king, and the book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social landscape of ninth-century England.King Alfred was the son of king Ethelwulf, who was the son of Egbert, who was the son of Elmund, was the son of Eafa, who was the son of Eoppa, who the son of Ingild. Ingild, and Ina, the famous king of the West-Saxons, were two brothers. Ina went to Rome, and there ending this life honourably, entered the heavenly kingdom, to reign there for ever with Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
