    My daughter once asked me why I was always interested in English history. I told her that it wasn't just English history, it was American history as well. I've always been fascinated by Alfred. The more you learn about him the more complex he becomes.

    I find Æthelstan more fascinating when it comes to the Anglo-Saxon kings, but the real genius behind proto England is St. Cuthbert
