How much do you know about Alfred the Great- the Times Online goes medieval.

The Wife just sent this link to the Goblin and I- sadly I know NONE of the answers, although i'd be willing to bet the answer to the last question is '9th'.

i don't know any of them either, but...

the pope (16) was one of the Leos. I think alfred had 3 brothers (2): the three AEthels. The jewel (13) is in a museum in Oxford somewhere. i think he's been buried (18) in a few places. Winchester, originally, then somewhere nearby. then his bones were lost. then (maybe) found. So who knows?
Are you proud of me, considering my absolute lack of knowledge of any real historical stuff from Anglo-Saxon times? i am.
