The great alleged burner of bakery (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alfred

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'the great alleged burner' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bakery' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alfred that I've seen before include "Saxon king" , "King after Ethelred" , "- - Hitchcock" , "English-born film director" , "... the Great, 9th-century Anglo-Saxon king" .)
