Alfred the Great!
King Alfred ruled over the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899 AD. He is best known for his efforts to defend his kingdom against Viking invasions and for his role in the unification of England. Alfred implemented military reforms, promoted education and literacy, and is often credited with laying the foundations for a unified England. His legacy includes the establishment of a legal code and the encouragement of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which documented the history of his reign and the Anglo-Saxon people.
Alfred the Great, King of England, did NOT rule a province. He ruled England, a country, because he was KING of ENGLAND. His kingdom was centred in Wessex, (West Saxons). Inmodern England, itv is the region of southern England into Somerset and Devon.

According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the first King of Wessex was Cerdic, who reigned from 519 to 534. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was written centuries later, and the historic record is quite unclear. At least one important historian places Cerdic's reign as 538 to 554, but there is no proof one way or the other. Cerdic, by the way, is a Welsh name, not Saxon. Cynric, who was the next King of Wessex, also had a Welsh name, as did Ceawlin, who followed him. It all makes me very suspicious of those Anglo-Saxons and their Chronicle. There is a link below to a list of Kings of Wessex.
