Edward was married three times and had fourteen children. Four of his sons were king after him, and five of his daughters married into continental noble or royal houses. He was first married in the 890s, and his wife Ecgwynn was the mother of King Æthelstan (924/5-39), and a daughter, Edith, who married Sihtric, the Norse king of York, in 926. Almo...
Sources from Alfred's reign say little about his eldest son Edward. The surviving Anglo-Saxon Chronicle does not mention Edward until after his father's death in 899. Asser's Life of King Alfred mentions Edward amongst Alfred's other children, and calls him an obedient son to Alfred, one who treats others with humility, friendliness and gentleness,...
Alfred died on 26 October 899, and Edward succeeded. Edward's first problem was the revolt of Æthelwold, one of Alfred's nephews (son of Alfred's older brother Æthelred I). On Edward's accession, Æthelwold seized Wimborne in Dorset where his father was buried and Christchurch in Hampshire, and prepared to hold them against all comers. Edward brough...
Nothing is reported of English / Danish hostilities between the battle of the Holme in late 902 and 906. That there were hostilities is suggested by the fact that Edward made peace with the East Anglian and Northumbrian Danes in 906; one manuscript of the Chroniclesays he made peace "from necessity", a formula which suggests he had to pay the Vikin...
The peaceful submission of Leicester and York to Æthelflæd in 918 look odd in the context of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, especially as the Northumbrian Danes had not been threatened by the English since the battle of Wednesfield in 910. But the Chronicleis chiefly concerned with the south of England. What it overlooks, and what must be reconstructed...
Edward died on 17 July 924, at Farndon near Chester. Contemporary sources record no further details, but William of Malmesbury (Gesta Regum, ii.133) records that he died a few days after quelling a combined Mercian / Welsh revolt at Chester. Since Ealdorman Æthelred of Mercia acknowledged the overlordship of King Alfred in 883 or earlier (as seen i...
Edward was buried at the New Minster, Winchester, a monastery he himself had founded in 901. The New Minster was built just beside the Old Minster, which had been built by the West Saxons in the mid-seventh century, and one of the reasons for the new and more spacious church was very likely to be a visual symbol of the wider horizons of the new kin...
Who was Edward the Confessor? King of England from 1042 – 1066. First English king after 25 years of Danish rule. Father was King Ethelred the Unready. Mother was Emma of Normandy. Married...
