As England take on Norway, a saga to stir the blood... Has scourge of the Vikings Alfred the Great been found under a car park in Winchester?

The article discusses the historical conflict between England and the Vikings, focusing on King Alfred the Great's role in repelling the invasion. It draws parallels between this historical event and the upcoming World Cup match between England and Norway, suggesting that Alfred's legendary presence might offer a symbolic advantage. Historian Graham Phillips claims to have discovered Alfred's remains under a car park in Winchester, drawing comparisons to the discovery of Richard III's remains in Leicester. While the claim is presented as a curious coincidence, no official confirmation or excavation plans are mentioned.
