EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 9th century A.D., a band of Danish raiders, their longships laden with plunder, are attempting to cross the Thames river. Unbeknownst to them, they have been spotted by the vigilant Saxon army, led by King Alfred, who has strategically positioned his forces along the riverbanks. The Danes, caught off guard, are taken completely by surprise as the Saxons launch a fierce ambush, catching them in the midst of crossing the treacherous waters. The Danes' longships, once their greatest advantage, become their greatest liability as they are beached and vulnerable to attack. The Saxons, armed with shields and swords, charge forward with determination and courage, outmaneuvering the Danes and inflicting heavy casualties. The Danes, outnumbered and outflanked, are quickly routed, their raid thwarted and their hard-won booty seized by the Saxons. King Alfred, a renowned military strategist and leader, had anticipated the Danish raid and had prepared his forces accordingly. This decisive victory not only secured the safety of his people and lands but also bolstered his reputation as a formidable ruler. The image captures the raw power and intensity of the battle, with the victorious Saxons standing triumphantly over the defeated Danes. This powerful and evocative print, depicting the Saxon ambush of Danish raiders on the Thames, is a testament to the turbulent history of the 9th century A.D. and the enduring legacy of the great leaders who shaped it.
