Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, played a crucial role in regaining control of England during the Viking incursions. In the late 9th century, he successfully defended his kingdom against Viking attacks and established a series of fortified towns known as burhs. His leadership and military strategies ultimately laid the groundwork for the unification of England, making him a pivotal figure in its history. By the end of his reign, he had significantly weakened Viking power in the region.
