Years: 883 - 883

King Alfred, because of his support and his donation of alms to Rome, receives a number of gifts from the Pope Marinus in probably 883, though there is some debate over the year.

Among these gifts is reputed to be a piece of the true cross, a true treasure for the devout Saxon king.

According to Asser, because of Pope Marinus' friendship with King Alfred, the pope had granted an exemption to any Anglo-Saxons residing within Rome from tax or tribute.
