Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Southwark" in English language version.
One of the few events to be contemporarily recorded about London during the entire period between the Romans and early Middle Ages is found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, written during Alfred's reign, for the year 886. "King Alfred occupied London [although in reality he had probably already done so for several years] and all the English people ['all angelcyn'] that were not under the subjection of the Danes submitted to him. And he then entrusted the borough to the control of Ealdorman Aethelred".
