He spent his early career fighting Viking invasions, until in 878 he won a decisive victory against them, and then personally oversaw the conversion of the Viking leader to Christianity. He left a legacy for being gracious, rational, peaceable, and generally working to improve the overall quality of people's lives. This biography was composed by Asser (d. 909), a Welsh monk and later bishop. This large print version (14 point size) of Asser's work is from, \"Asser's life of King Alfred, translated by Albert Stanburrough Cook (1853-1927); Boston, New York: Ginn and company 1906.\" The original footnotes are preserved, and surviving illustrations of King Alfred on coins and in artwork are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blurb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781034160908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.11d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Asser Bishop of Sherborne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715407016117,"sku":"9781034160908","price":9.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/assers-life-of-king-alfred-large-print-illustrated-edition-9781034160908","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
