King of Wessex from 871 to 899, known as "the Great" (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alfred

(Other definitions for alfred that I've seen before include "King of Wessex, known as "the Great"" , "Cake-burning king" , "Royal one across burner" , "... the Great, 9th-century Anglo-Saxon king" , "Great English king" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
