Yeah, understanding the historical Alfred colored the way I looked at the relationship. Alfred is the one and only reason we even have written records from that period. He was insisting on recording everything with ink. We would know almost nothing about the Anglo-saxons of that time without him. He's actually the "hero" of the story, despite his shortcomings.
