King Alfred’s Tower Revisited

Summary:
Some better drone footage of King Alfred's Tower with nice music. And below that is a video with a little bit of the history of the tower and King Alfred himself. He was the first king of England, and he was a great strategist who fiercely fought the Vikings. He would often defeat them on land, but was less successful at doing so at sea, until he had built these large, highly manned boats, after which the Vikings gave up and went to France instead. King Alfred loved academia, learning, and books, and decided that every Englishman should learn how to read, and so he set up great libraries. He was considered to be a kind king, and the video gives you some idea of how important 'big government' is, as long as it is run for the benefit of everyone, not just the rich.King Alfred’s Tower Stone
