Image title
'King Alfred and the cakes'. The folk tale of Alfred and the accidental burning of the griddle cakes. In 878, after the Danes captured Chippenham, Alfred was forced to retreat into the wilderness, and it is to this period that the story of King Alfred burning the cakes belongs. The story tells that Alfred was so low in his fortunes that he was forced to travel anonymously and seek lodging in a peasant woman's hut. Told to mind the cakes cooking on the fire, Alfred let his thoughts wander to his troubles. The cakes burned, and the peasant woman gave her king a good scolding for his carelessness.
