I got Crusader Kings III and am playing King Alfred the Great and it makes me so happy that he's still alive currently, 19 years after his real-life death and the King of England and Wales (with almost all the de jure land).
He is not long for this world so sadly it will probably be his heir (his grandson, because he's lives so long that his oldest son went and died aged 50 waiting to take over 😅) that attempts to bring Scotland and/or Ireland into the fold.
#apologies for trying to form the UK centuries too soon#crusader kings iii#crusader kings 3#king alfred the great#alfred the great#im so attached to this 70 year old man and really he can't last much longer

Aethelgifu, The Teenage Abbess: A Peak Inside The Walls Of The Shaftesbury Abbey
[Gold Hill, Shafesbury] Silence isn’t empty, it’s full of answers. It was a chilly day, this fourth day of October. Chilly and windy. Mariam and I had just had a very enjoyable lunch with a former student of mine, Sally, and her husband, Matthew. Sally was in my Geography class when I had the joy of being an exchange teacher at a school in southern Dorset. It was 1984-85 and after a decade or…

summary: Set after season 4. Alfred the Great is sent back one last time in the dead of night to visit four very important people.

King Alfred the Great | The Historian's Hut

"The story says he took refuge in Athelney, Somerset, where a swineherd's wife left him to watch the loaves cooking beside the fire. But Alfred was distracted by thinking hard about his fate and about how to fight back – and the loaves burned. The woman reproved him, not realising he was the King." The English used the story to mark a turning point in his life. "Whether or not the legend is true, Athelney was of massive significance to Alfred," explained Prof McTurk. "He built a fort, rallied his troops and from this point onwards did much better against the Vikings."

Yesterday was Father's day. And I was a bit busy. So belatedly, I'd like to wish a Happy Father's Day to the wonderful DILFs of our tournament! They're not all good men (hell they're not all good fathers) but they are all HOT.
