King Alfred the Great, who ruled from 871 to 899, is known for his legal reforms, which included the compilation of the "Doom Book" or "Code of Alfred." This code combined earlier Anglo-Saxon laws with new statutes, emphasizing justice, morality, and social order. It aimed to protect the weak and promote communal responsibility, reflecting Alfred's commitment to a more organized and fair legal system. His laws also established a framework for local governance and the administration of justice.
