Alfred the Great was the king of England at some time in the 9th century. The Tenth Doctor claimed that he had had dinner with Alfred the Great. (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon) The Fourth Doctor mentioned that he catered for the king. (AUDIO: Babblesphere)
Alfred survived his father Ethelwulf, who had "died of his worries", and four older brothers who died fighting Danish invaders, including Ethelred and Ethelbald. The Sixth Doctor encountered Alfred. (PROSE: The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up) Later, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond helped Alfred escape from Somerset. (COMIC: They Think It's All Over) The Third Doctor once told Jo about a battle that King Alfred had with the Cybermen. (AUDIO: The Mega)
