x_losThis is such a shit legend:
"A popular legend, originating from 12th century chronicles,[12] tells how when he first fled to the Somerset Levels, Alfred was given shelter by a peasant woman who, unaware of his identity, left him to watch some cakes she had left cooking on the fire. Preoccupied with the problems of his kingdom, Alfred accidentally let the cakes burn and was taken to task by the woman upon her return. Upon realising the king's identity, the woman apologised profusely, but Alfred insisted that he was the one who needed to apologise."
YEA, EVEN IN THE 12th CENTURY, THE ENGLISH WERE AWKWARD AND APOLOGETIC. VERILY.
'AND LO, THE KNIGHTS QUEUED UP FOR THEE BATTLE, AND INNE HIS HASTE SIR ABELWORTH OF GLOSTER (OFTEN TIMES LATER CALLED ABELWORTH THE OVER-HASTEE), DID QUEUE JUMPETH. AND THERE WAS MUCH AGGRAVATION, BUT NO ONE SPOKE UNTO HIM OF THEIR GREAT IRE, BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL OF THEM VERIE GREATLY ANGLISH.'
