King Alfred of England

CHAPTER V
7/20

Only one was saved.
This one was a boy, about ten years old.

His name was Turgar.

He was a handsome boy, and one of the Danish chieftains was struck with his countenance and air, in the midst of the slaughter, and took pity on him.

The chieftain's name was Count Sidroc.

Sidroc drew Turgar out of the immediate scene of danger, and gave him a Danish garment, directing him, at the same time, to throw aside his own, and then to follow him wherever he went, and keep close to his side, as if he were a Dane.
