First Sentence
The Life of King Alfred attributed to Asser occupies a central place in English historical writing, not only because of its acceptance by scholars as the earliest extant biography of an English king - and indeed of any English lay person - but because its subject is Alfred the Great of Wessex whom Asser, the self-proclaimed author of the Life, claims to have known as a tutor and a friend.
