- An ancient legal code of the Anglo-Saxons, as written by Alfred the Great. The "dooms" (laws) were mostly not innovated by Alfred, but compiled by him from existing laws he collected from around England.
King Alfred is like "Read the Bible, you heathens"
This is a reminder of how profoundly influential Old Testament law really is.
It alao has a lot of similarity to Hamurabbi's law code, which is about 1700 years older than the old testament.
@@VigilanteGamer Sure, but who knew about Hamurabbi's code in the era of Alfred the Great? The ideas came down to us through the Bible (and Moses was explicitly referenced).
@@jedediahkurth4886 We all know that medieval people were not particularly knowledgeable.
"da juice makin da laws to govern da white man"
@@VigilanteGamer Lol yeah, I dunno if angles or west saxons in britain were traveling to west asia at the time. :V

Alfred the Based
We're blessed by Carl bringing life to his old channel
It's such a gift when I see an upload from this channel. Wish you had time to do more Carl.
Glad i found this channel.
Holy shit I forgot this channel existed
Let’s see how long they let you monetize this one Carl. Really sad to see you demonetized on EVERYTHING. Cheers mang.
Excellent reading
It’s nice to Liston to old texts. :)
Carl’s other passion project .. approved 👍🏽
He was the greatest leader in history
The laws in exodus are timeless
Very interesting, so archaic. It sounds like it was written just yesterday by King Nethanyahu!
I'm pretty sure this is a reupload?
Wasn’t he a bit not totally in line with the adultery thing?
Took you this long to cover this? Fun fact Sargon is the ancient way of saying "Totes legitimate King" in ancient Akkadian. Probably won in a landslide election, plunging Akkad and Babylon into an era of freedom...😊 This is my favorite of all your channels for what it is worth.
LOL! I didn't have a dowry.. 🤭
08:39 Suffer not the witch to live.
Now i know where Wh40k got that from :D
I really don't give this channel enough attention Sargon... I should.
AI image generation spotted
No way, that is a real selfie of Alfred. 😮
Your FACE is an AI image generation

So if someone breaks into your house in the day time you can't defend your home and property by taking your sword or axe to them?
Seems a bit lefty.
You can’t kill them if you lie in wait for them. But if the situation is thrust upon you then you can.
I mean, if someone is just hanging out at home during the day and their kids are home and some dude smashes the window and starts to climb in, it seems reasonable to start hacking at him with a sword or axe in those days@@Galahad_Du_Lac
Good ol nonsense AI art. Why is Alfred wearing metal vambraces, writing on modern paper with a modern book cover, and using what looks like a fountain pen? Also his right thumb looks double jointed. :^)
I reckon the entire video is completely ruined and beyond salvage.
At last the Father of the Alt Right releases his auto-audio-manifesto, of course under an encoded title that only his subservient far-right attack dogs will be able to decrypt. Well just wait until my wife's boyfriend's boss at CNN finds out about this!
One of the founding peoples of a civilization and his name was Alfred, no wonder England is so weird.
