Bishop Asser tells the story of how as a child Alfred won a prize of a volume of poetry in English, offered by his mother to the first of her children able to memorise it.
Legend also has it that the young Alfred spent time in Ireland seeking healing.
Alfred was troubled by health problems throughout his life.
It is thought that he may have suffered from Crohn's disease.
Statues of Alfred in Winchester and Wantage portray him as a great warrior.
Evidence suggests he was not physically strong, and though not lacking in courage, he was more noted for his intellect than a warlike character.
