Link to the previous TL help thread that is now dead/dying.

This is my first timeline and will more thank likely come under fire for it as it may be considered ASB for the majority of readers on here. I have done a previous thread for this but have decided to redo it here and keep it more organised and with a clear and more understandable path to what I am to achieve.
The premise is simple, Alfred The Great of Mercia has no heirs for he is impotent yet knowing this he strives to enact the reforms he instigated as per OTL. But to the matter of his succession, in this TL any surviving blood relatives to the king have been either murdered or forcibly removed from succeeding him. That leaves one issue, his successor.
Enter the sons of Rhodri Mawr AKA Roderick The Great for those who do know. In OTL Rhodri dies fighting Alfred in battle, but this is our other POD, he survives and his son Anarawd takes on the mantle of 'King of The Britons' and as such earns the respectand adulation of Alfred and after Rhodri's death and with Alfred knowing his time on earth is closer to its finale offers the Mercian crown to Anarwd who accepts, if only he promises to protect his people as well as his own.
Also the King of Cornwall Doniert/Dungarth does not die drowing in battle and his alliance with the Norse continues. This gives Anarawd his first true chance to prove himself King of all of the Britons.
I have a series of events that I hope to have played out for this story and hopefully with the help of the people on here I will be able to hopefully achieve this
