From the point of view of the person, I would not call Alfred the great as much as Alfred the rounded, in the humanistic sense of the word, i.e. great in many things. However, from the point of view of the nation, I think he deserves the simple title "the great", as he was the father of the kingdom of England, and by extension, of the British nation as well. Certainly, in relation to its importance to world culture in general, not as great as Charlemagne, who basically began the notion of Europe as a distinct and particular civilization. Alfred may have been The Great for the nation of England, but Charlemagne was The Great for an entire continent.
