Note 363 — LECTURE III LIFE OF ALFRED PRIOR TO HIS ACCESSION TO THE THRONE
Reading edition
‘Ad patriam atque ad patrem … direxit,’ S. D.¹ ii. 71; ‘ad patrem … remisit,’ S. D.² ii. 101 (of the pope). Both these versions also, especially the second, clearly distinguish this journey of Alfred’s from the one in 853, ii. 103.
