Alfred in the Neat-herds Hut, late 19th century - A Glimpse into King Alfred's Hidden Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a rare moment from the late 19th century, shedding light on the secret life of one of England's most renowned monarchs, King Alfred. In this intimate scene, we find Alfred seeking refuge in a humble neat-herd's hut on the Somerset Levels. Unbeknownst to his hostess and preoccupied by matters of his kingdom, King Alfred finds himself distracted and overwhelmed. As he grapples with the weighty responsibilities that come with ruling Wessex and the Anglo-Saxons, he inadvertently lets his cakes burn. The image portrays an incognito king caught up in domesticity - a stark contrast to his regal persona. Surrounded by loyal dogs and accompanied by William Small, this tired sovereign is scolded by a woman who remains oblivious to her guest's true identity. The engraving showcases an interior filled with smoke as burnt bread fills the air. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like King Alfred are not immune to everyday mishaps or moments of frustration. Preserved within "Cassells Illustrated History of England" this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into both the personal struggles and hidden lives of those who shaped our nation centuries ago. It invites us to reflect on how even kings can be humbled by their own humanity when faced with ordinary challenges such as cooking mishaps or being lost in thought about their kingdom’s affairs.
