King Alfred the Great protected his people by reforming the military, constructing fortified towns called burhs, and establishing a network of messengers for quick communication. He also focused on education, promoting literacy and translating important texts into English for wider dissemination. This combination of military defense and cultural development helped safeguard his kingdom against Viking invasions.
