Best Answer

Alfred the Great fortified his position, while the Vikings ravaged the countryside. This provoked a response by Alfred the Great, where he and his son lead an army to meet the Viking forces and defeat them. The second war involving the Vikings, Alfred the Great had fortified much of his kingdom. The Vikings invaded, but could not cause any real damage with the new fortifications. Alfred the Great ended up winning because of his fortified status.

What did Alfred the great do?

Alfred the great was a viking. Sad Story even though he was great and a viking but whatever... Anyways , Alfred became the King of Wessex, the most powerful small Anglo-Saxon kingdoms at that time. During his rule there was great fear in the land. His first viking attack in England was in 793. A fleet of ships raided the monastery of Lindisfarne. Monks were killed, altar vessels stolen, and beautifully illustrated manuscripts were destroyed . He ruled also other parts in Europe.
