The Danes had taken every English kingdom but his, and by 878 Alfred was in the Somerset marshes with whatever army would still come. He came out of Athelney, beat Guthrum at Edington, and then did the stranger thing: he rebuilt the law, the schools and the fortified towns of Wessex, turning survival into a state.
