“they (King Alfred's men) had to sense the deep need for leaders who understood the principles of nobility. They had to despise nearsighted purchasing of today's peace with tomorrow's freedom and see it for the cowardice that it was. They had to prefer to die a gory death in a hopeless combat than to live a craven life having betrayed the king and the people of Wessex.”
Benjamin Merkle

“he (King Alfred) described feasting in the mead hall and the warm fellowship between the ring-giver and his thegns, the deep bond of comitatus, as the closest approximation he could make to life in heaven.”
Benjamin Merkle
