Alfred the Great held his little kingdom against the Danes; he saved the Saxon people, of which he is the noble representative, from destruction by. Heathen hosts. William the Conqueror led a stirring life, bat tling against mutinous barons, jealous overlords, sturdy Saxons, and rebellious sons; he brought to Alfred's land the Norman race, which was to fuse with the Saxon and form a people greater than either, — the English. Elizabeth met and overmatched the power of king and emperor; her golden reign brings us face to face with the beginning of modern Eng land.
