EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historical moment when King Alfred the Great, ruler of Wessex from 871 to 899 AD, began the process of rebuilding and fortifying the walls of London following his successful regaining of the city from the Danes in 886 AD. The Danish invasion of England had left London in ruins, and Alfred's military prowess and strategic vision were essential in driving the Danes back and securing English control of the city once again. In this scene, King Alfred is depicted in regal attire, overseeing the construction of the city walls. Surrounded by his military advisors and settlers, he points towards the site of the new fortifications, inspiring his men to work diligently and rebuild London into a formidable stronghold. The determination and resolve in Alfred's expression are palpable, reflecting the importance of this moment in English history. The planting of military settlers within the city was a crucial aspect of Alfred's strategy to secure London's defenses. These settlers, many of whom were veterans of Alfred's army, would not only help fortify the city but also serve as a deterrent against future Danish attacks. The presence of a permanent military presence within London's walls would ensure that the city remained a stronghold of English power and influence. This photo print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of England hung in the balance. Alfred's rebuilding of London's walls marked a turning point in English history and paved the way for the emergence of a unified English kingdom under Alfred's rule. This powerful image serves as a testament to Alfred's leadership and the resilience of the English people during a time of great adversity.
