Long-lost remains of King Alfred the Great 'found buried under car park like Richard III'

The remains of King Alfred the Great, a revered English monarch known for uniting Anglo-Saxons against the Vikings, have reportedly been discovered beneath a car park by historical researcher Graham Phillips. This claim comes after a 13-year investigation and follows previous discoveries that were later proven incorrect. Phillips suggests that Alfred's bones were moved multiple times throughout history, including during the 18th century when a prison was constructed near the Hyde Abbey site. His findings are set to be featured in an upcoming episode of the British TV show 'Weird Britain.'
