King Alfred: A Man on the Move explores the life and legacy of the legendary Anglo-Saxon king through a personal journey across the locations associated with his reign. From his birthplace in Wantage, Oxfordshire, to his burial site in Winchester, Dr Paul Kelly retraces King Alfred's military engagements and battles, including the famous conflicts at Ashdown and Ethandun.
Combining on-the-ground experiences with extensive research, Dr Kelly sheds light on the mysteries surrounding King Alfred's death and final resting place. Along the way, he uncovers enigmatic locations such as Egbert's Stone and Iglea, and examines the significance of key battle sites like Ashdown and Ethandun.
