    No. Uhtred of Bebbanburg is a fictional character. He didn't exist, so he could not know, or give anything to a real person, King Alfred the Great.

    Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to c. 886 and King of the Anglo-Saxons from c. 886 to 899. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_the_Great

    There was an Uhtred, King of Hwicce c.750 – c.779 AD, an Uhtred (Derbyshire ealdorman), 10th century, Uhtred the Bold, 11th century... and other Uhtreds, but non existed during the reign of Alfred the Great.

    The historical people named "Uhtred" (2 of them) lived in the tenth and eleventh centuries, so, no; Alfred the Great died in 899.
