The preface presents Alfred as wise, brave, pious and devoted to his people, and says he is merciful towards conquered enemies.
The conflict includes slaughter, plunder, destruction and the misery of conquered communities.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
