Question

Mar 11 2013, 11:33:25 Who was the first person to call Alfred the Great 'Great'?

In his recent biography, Justin Pollard states that it was a 16th C historian, without citing the source, or reference (Pollard, 2005, p303). Would anyone be kind enough to help verify this? My searches have not come up with anything so far.
