  Alfred the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred was born sometime between AD 847 and 849 at Wantage in the present-day ceremonial county of Oxfordshire (though historically speaking in the traditional county of Berkshire).
He was the fourth son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex (Æþelwulf), most likely by his first wife, Osburh.
He seems to have been a child of singular attractiveness and promise, and tales of his boyhood were remembered.

King Æthelwulf (839-58) was the son of King Ecgberht (802-39), and it was Ecgberht of Wessex who broke the Mercian power over most of the southern English kingdoms left over from King Offa's day (757-96) and replaced it with a West Saxon version.
By his first wife Osburh Æthelwulf had a daughter and five sons.
After the death of all his older brothers by 871, Æthelwulf's youngest son Alfred unexpectedly ended up on the throne, and became the most famous Anglo-Saxon king ever, so that hundreds of years later he would be known as "Alfred the Great".

His mother is recorded as Osburh, though he may have been the son of a second, unknown, marriage as there is a gap of several years between Alfred's birth and those of his elder brothers.
Alternatively Alfred may have been older than we are led to believe, a point which may be attested by his ill health in his final years.
Although this golden age also owed something to his son and grandson, Alfred was truly the most impressive of the Saxon kings.

 Alfred the Great   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The youngest of four sons, he had little prospect of taking on the burden of ruling Wessex, so he was allowed to pursue his love of learning, a peculiar pastime for a Saxon atheling that must have earned him some derision from his elder brothers.
One of the many stories that illustrate Alfred's aptitude tells of how his mother, Osburh, showed her sons a beautifully illuminated book of Saxon poetry and promised to make a gift of it to the first of them to read it.
Alfred found a tutor, learned to read it aloud, and won the rare book when he was only six years old.

The story originates in Asser's Life of King Alfred, ch.
Alfred's mother was Osburh, and the event took place presumably in the mid-850s, when Alfred would have been about five years old; in 856 King Æthelwulf married Judith, daughter of Charles the Bald, king of the Franks.
Hence the notion, adopted by Sharon Turner, that the poetry competition took place when Alfred was 12, and that the mother in question was not his mother Osburh, but his step-mother Judith.
