This article needs much better sources - it's currently based on confused early modern popular literature. Alfred the Great did not found the university of Oxford, Oxford is not a stand-in for the whole of Medieval British (or European!) civic life, the article currently has the curfew being established twice, the details of the curfew law are undefined, and the claims that the system was intended to prevent rebellion are unsubstantiated.
