Have archaelogists found Alfred the Great too? (Mirror)

"A team of archaeologists believe bones buried in an unmarked grave in Winchester could be those of the 9th Century Saxon leader."

DAYS after confirmation that Richard III had been found, ­trowels are being sharpened to dig for more royal remains. 

A team of archaeologists is hoping to locate Alfred the Great and believe bones buried in an unmarked grave in Winchester could be those of the 9th Century Saxon leader. 

They will begin excavating at St Bartholomew’s church in the spring and the results could be known by early summer. 

A vicar reputedly bought the bones after Alfred’s original crypt at Hyde Abbey was ransacked. 

If the remains turn out to be those of Alfred – widely regarded as the greatest ever English king – it would be one the most significant archeological discoveries ever made."
