Ahh Yes! I double checked and you are correct! That comes from assuming I remembered the paper book, "1066 The Year of the Conquest" by David Howarth, better than I did. All the Anglo-Saxons look alike to me!

. . . But having Alfred defeat the Normans would make one HECK of an alternative history!

EDIT: BTW, I highly recommend the Howarth book, I checked and its available on Amazon as a paper book. Fortunately, I still have my copy from years ago, I'm gonna re-read
