England on the Brink: Alfred the Great vs. the Great Viking Army
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In 878 AD, England nearly vanished. The Great Viking Army had conquered most of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and Alfred of Wessex was defeated and driven into hiding in the Somerset marshes.
From that moment of collapse came one of the greatest turnarounds in European history.
In this episode of Viking Legacy and Lore, we trace Alfred’s exile at Athelney, the dramatic Battle of Edington, Guthrum’s transformation, and the birth of the Danelaw. This is not a story of simple victory. It is a story of adaptation, resilience, and the merging of Viking and Anglo-Saxon worlds that shaped the future of England.
