Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against, the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death, had become the dominant ruler in England. He is one of only two, English monarchs to be given the epithet "the Great", the other, being the Scandinavian Cnut the Great. He was also the first, King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the, Anglo-Saxons". Details of Alfred's life are described in a work, by the 9th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser."
