	The Proverbs of Alfred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Proverbs of Alfred is a collection of the putative sayings of Alfred the Great of England in late Anglo-Saxon or early Middle English.
		The proverbs are in alliterative verse, but the verse does not adhere to the rules of true Anglo-Saxon poetry.
		The proverbs are expressed as highly compressed metaphors that are halfway to the poetry found in the Anglo-Saxon riddle and Gnomic Verses.

		Alfred was born sometime between 847 and 849 AD at Wantage in Berkshire (alterations to county borders in 1974 mean that Wantage is now part of Oxfordshire), the fourth son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex (or Aethelwulf), most likely by his first wife, Osburh.
		The measures taken by Alfred to repress this uprising culminated in the taking of London in 885 or 886, and the treaty known as Alfred and Guthrum’s peace, whereby the boundaries of the treaty of Wedmore (with which this is often mistaken) were materially modified to Alfred’s gain.
		Alfred’s care for the administration of justice is testified both by history and legend; and the title “protector of the poor” was his by unquestioned right.
