Bone fragment 'could be King Alfred or son Edward'

A fragment of pelvis bone unearthed in Winchester in 1999 may belong to King Alfred the Great or his son Edward the Elder, academics have said.

It was found at a previous dig at Hyde Abbey and has been dated to 895-1017 - the era the king died.

King Alfred was a bone fragment?

I'll never understand all the weirdness surrounding royal families.
