Alfred knew that his Independence was inevitable, that the tooth and nail-fighting his people would do to achieve it was inevitable; he just hoped that a war could be avoided. The Olive Branch he was extending towards Arthur and Great Britain would be his last attemtp to avoid it, and still achieve his Independence.
