A fragment of pelvis bone unearthed in Winchester in 1999 may belong to Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great, or his son Edward the Elder, academics have said. It was found at a previous dig at Hyde Abbey and has been dated to 895-1017 - the era the king died. King Alfred is the only English monarch known as the Great , and the centre of a legend where - on the run from a Viking attack - he was put in charge of the cooking, which ended badly.
