Asser's Life of King Alfred is a historical book that provides a detailed account of the life and reign of King Alfred the Great, the Anglo-Saxon king who ruled England from 871 to 899. The book is written by Asser, a Welsh monk who served as a close advisor and biographer of King Alfred. In addition to the Life of King Alfred, this book also includes the Annals of Saint Neots, a chronicle of English history that was erroneously ascribed to Asser. The Annals cover the period from the Roman occupation of Britain to the early 12th century, and provide valuable insights into the political and social history of England during this time. The book is edited and translated by William Henry Stevenson, a renowned scholar of Anglo-Saxon history and literature. Stevenson's introduction provides context and background information on the Life of King Alfred and the Annals of Saint Neots, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of England during the Middle Ages.
