The Laws of King Alfred the Great

An ancient legal code of the Anglo-Saxons, as written by Alfred the Great. The "dooms" (laws) were mostly not innovated by Alfred, but compiled by him from existing laws he collected from around England.

[@caleb-hines]

King Alfred is like "Read the Bible, you heathens"

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

"Don't read pulp fiction or manga."

[@jedediahkurth4886]

This is a reminder of how profoundly influential Old Testament law really is.

[@VigilanteGamer]

It alao has a lot of similarity to Hamurabbi's law code, which is about 1700 years older than the old testament.

[@jedediahkurth4886]

@@VigilanteGamer Sure, but who knew about Hamurabbi's code in the era of Alfred the Great? The ideas came down to us through the Bible (and Moses was explicitly referenced).

[@Jon-mh9lk]

​@@jedediahkurth4886 We all know that medieval people were not particularly knowledgeable.

It's such a gift when I see an upload from this channel. Wish you had time to do more Carl.

Holy shit I forgot this channel existed

Glad i found this channel.

Let’s see how long they let you monetize this one Carl. Really sad to see you demonetized on EVERYTHING. Cheers mang.

[@adamwalkercodes]

Excellent reading

[@buckaroobaizuo25]

Carl’s other passion project .. approved 👍🏽

It’s nice to Liston to old texts. :)

The laws in exodus are timeless

[@JohnSmith-lf5xm]

Very interesting, so archaic. It sounds like it was written just yesterday by King Nethanyahu!

[@poelmeister]

Wasn’t he a bit not totally in line with the adultery thing?

[@gjheintzman]

Took you this long to cover this? Fun fact Sargon is the ancient way of saying "Totes legitimate King" in ancient Akkadian. Probably won in a landslide election, plunging Akkad and Babylon into an era of freedom...😊 This is my favorite of all your channels for what it is worth.

[@ShortbusMooner]

LOL! I didn't have a dowry.. 🤭

I really don't give this channel enough attention Sargon... I should.

No way, that is a real selfie of Alfred. 😮

So if someone breaks into your house in the day time you can't defend your home and property by taking your sword or axe to them? Seems a bit lefty.

[@Galahad_Du_Lac]

You can’t kill them if you lie in wait for them. But if the situation is thrust upon you then you can.

[@NR-rv8rz]

I mean, if someone is just hanging out at home during the day and their kids are home and some dude smashes the window and starts to climb in, it seems reasonable to start hacking at him with a sword or axe in those days@@Galahad_Du_Lac

At last the Father of the Alt Right releases his auto-audio-manifesto, of course under an encoded title that only his subservient far-right attack dogs will be able to decrypt. Well just wait until my wife's boyfriend's boss at CNN finds out about this!

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

Good ol nonsense AI art. Why is Alfred wearing metal vambraces, writing on modern paper with a modern book cover, and using what looks like a fountain pen? Also his right thumb looks double jointed. :^)

[@walterworrall]

I reckon the entire video is completely ruined and beyond salvage.

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

@@walterworrall Nah, I'm only poo pooing the AI art. I can't control your head canon

[@cringlator]

One of the founding peoples of a civilization and his name was Alfred, no wonder England is so weird.
