    King Alfred

    Famous for the incident with the cakes but does anyone know if he actually ever wrote anything?

    Well he was considered “learned” in his time, visited the Pope as a child (so presumably had latin), encouraged education among his subjects (allegedly) and signed an agreement with the Danes. So yes, one assumes he could write!
    Whether anything he wrote survives - I have no idea!
    Hope this helps. (But I doubt if it will).

    Think he wrote " Agadoo". But could be wrong.
