The defence of the 9th-century kingdom of Wessex under King Alfred
the Great against the 'Great Viking Army' is one of the major
military achievements of early medieval history. While the
guerrilla warfare in the Somerset marshes and the battle of
Edington are characteristic of Alfred's military abilities, his
definitive physical achievement was a series of some 30
well-structured fortifications across the kingdom. They continued
to form a basis of West Saxon rule during the period of the
emergence of an English kingdom in the 10th century under Alfred's
son, King Edward 'the Elder'. This title traces the development,
construction and impact of these fortifications from the 9th to the
11th centuries AD.
