We tell the story of Alfred the Great and the last kingdom of Wessex. Alfred was a Saxon king who lived in the 9th century. As the rest of England fell to Viking invaders he won a string of victories pushing back the heathens. It seemed God stood with him, but for how long?
The podcast tells the story of how Alfred fought back against the Vikings and protected his kingdom.
