I will not attempt to write of this man, who alone of British kings bears the title "Great." But I will direct you to an extended poem by G. K. Chesterton:
The Ballad of the White Horse
Collect of the Day:
O Sovereign Lord, who didst bring thy servant Alfred to a troubled throne that he might establish peace in a ravaged land and revive learning and the arts among the people: Awake in us also, we beseech thee, a keen desire to increase our understanding while we are in this world, and an eager longing to reach that endless life where all will be made clear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
