"The new issue of Empire brings you a world-exclusive first look at what’s in store in The Rings Of Power Season 3, spending three days on set at Shepperton Studios, where we prowled the halls of Khazad-dûm and Rivendell, the streets of Númenor and the bowels of Mordor, to report on the most epic episodes yet. Inside, we speak to showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne on stepping up – and flashing forward five years – to get to the dark heart of their planned five-season saga. And as well as speaking to Sauron himself, Charlie Vickers, we come face-to-face with Gandalf (Daniel Weyman), Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo) and more to discuss the forces of good and evil warring for the soul of Middle-earth. It’s packed with never-before-seen images, new character reveals, and plenty more (dor)."

Alfred died in 899, and his bones were repeatedly moved. He was buried in Winchester Cathedral until 1110, when his remains were moved to Winchester's Hyde Abbey, where they were interred before the high altar between the bodies of his wife and son. The abbey was demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and the place was left in ruins. In 1866, during construction of a workhouse on the site, the English antiquarian John Mellor excavated the area, found what he thought were Alfred's bones and had them reburied at nearby St. Bartholemew’s Church. But in 2013, when archaeologists exhumed and carbon-dated the bones from St. Bartholomew’s churchyard, they proved to date from over 200 years after Alfred’s death - sparking Graham's interest and search. He said: "Whoever’s bones they were, they weren’t Alfred’s. So, I decided to discover what happened to them. "The quest has taken me 13 years.”
