Archaeologists have dug up the ass of King Alfred the Great or of his son King Edward the Elder.

Which reminds me of a limrick.
the famed achaeologist Thossle
Found a most interesting fossile
From the way it was bent
and the knot at the end
'twas the penis of Paul the Apostle.

Ass - - or perhaps, it could be inferred to be a certain other part of Alfred's anatomy.

'twas the King's pelvis or that of his son.

Yes, his pelvis; that's why I said, a "different part of his anatomy."

For a moment, I thought that you were saying that they found the remains of King Alfred's donkey. I didn't even know that he had one.

But was it really an ass? Some say it was his donkey.
