Did the boys make him king? (6)
I believe the answer is:
alfred
This clue could be a double definition.
'did the boys make him' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'king?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alfred that I've seen before include "King of Wessex, known as "the Great"" , "Ninth century king of Wessex" , "Chap" , "English-born film director" , "King after Ethelred" .)
