The last Kingdom (The Last Kingdom) (№ 401895)

Alfred believed that I deserved forgiveness.
Is bragging?
- Look at the chronicle, I was there on every page.
That's not true! Your name not even once!
But I'm there! Not named, but there is! And the men of Wessex know it! As you know and this. That's what I said the king. I went with Alfred marsh of Somerset, of Ethandune and all the subsequent battles! We were connected, it was what I could not and did not want to become. He was someone I loved and despised. But for me anyway it was an honor to serve him. He was my king! And he didn't want to go to God not giving me what I deserve, a great many times - my freedom.
