Edmund I, or Edmund the Deed-Doer (Eadmund) (921–May 26, 946) was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan.

Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as King. Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Edmund was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been having a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After the outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmund and Leofa were both killed. He was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955.

Edmund's sons later ruled England as:

Edwin of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1, 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

Succeeded his half brother Athelstan in 939. When the King of Dublin invaded
on this new English king, it was a different story, as the first year of

the work done by Edward the Elder. But, in 942 he regained much of the lost
territories. He was succeeded by his brother Edred in 946 after being stabbed

Edmund was the brother of Athelstan and was only 18 years old on his accession. When Vikings from Ireland invaded, the Archbishop of Canterbury arranged a treaty between them and the English and this divided the country. Later Edmund defeated these Vikings and regained the lost territory. Edmund had allies in the Welsh princes and together they laid waste to Strathclyde. Edmund was warlike and an effective monarch. He was murdered at Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire, by robbers on Tuesday 26th May 946. An interesting story about Edmund concerns Dunstan, who in later years became Archbishop of Canterbury. Edmund and Dunstan were good companions but treacherous courtiers wrongly discredited Dunstan and he was so upset that he contemplated leaving the country he loved so much. Just afterwards, the year was 943, he and Edmund were out riding at Cheddar when Edmund's horse reared up and bolted towards the cliffs of the Gorge. When all seemed lost, the thought struck Edmund of the evil done to Dunstan by the courtiers. He struggled and managed to regain control of his horse and thus avoid the cliffs. He called Dunstan and straightway rode with him to Glastonbury and immediately appointed his

King Edmund I of England, or Edmund the Deed-Doer was born in Wessex in 921 as a son of Edward I the Elder of England, King from 899 till 924, and half-brother of Athelstan of England, king from 924 till 939.

Edmund, born in 921, was the son of King Edward 'the Elder' who succeeded his brother Æthelstan as King of Wessex over which he ruled from 939 to 946. The politics of his reign were dominated by his struggle to preserve the conquests of his father and brother. Olaf Guthfrithson, determined to make a comeback after his defeat at
Brunanburh in 937, returned to England and before the end of 939 had occupied York. In 940 he led his army south across the midlands. He was repulsed at Northampton, then stormed Tamworth and awaited Edmund's retaliation at Leicester. Peace was negotiated between the two
armies by Archbishop Oda of Canterbury and his colleague of York, Wulfstan I. It was highly disadvantageous to Edmund. He had to cede to Olaf the lands of north-east Mercia between Watling Street and the Humber (Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire), i.e. the region conquered by his father in the years 918-20. Olaf Guthfrithson died in 941 and was succeeded by his cousin Olaf Sihtricson. Edmund moved against this second Olaf in 942 and recovered the territories lost in 940. The event was celebrated in rousing
verse preserved in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. In 943 Olaf made peace with Edmund and was baptised a Christian. In the following year fighting broke out between Olaf and a rival claimant to the Scandinavian kingdom of York. Edmund took advantage of this to invade Northumbria and bring it under his control. He consolidated his hold on
the north in 945 by ravaging the British kingdom of Strathclyde and making a treaty with the King of Scots.

Edmund maintained the traditions of government which had characterised his brother's rule. He issued two law-codes and maintained firm control of the coinage. He co-operated harmoniously with Archbishop Oda in the government of the church. He was a patron of nuns and in an initiative which was to have far-reaching consequences
he promoted Dunstan to the abbacy of Glastonbury. He conducted an active foreign policy, sustaining his nephew Louis IV as King of France and receiving at least one embassy from his brother-in-law Otto I of Duitsland.

Edmund married twice. By his first wife ¥lfgifu (d. 944) he had two sons, Edwy and Edgar. His second wife ¥thelflµd survived him by at least thirty years.

Edmund died by violence at the age of only twenty-five. On 26 May 946 he was murdered at Pucklechurch in Gloucestershire while attempting to defend his steward from an attack by an outlaw named Leofa.

Edmund I (921-46), Saxon king of the English (939-46), the son of King Edward the Elder. He participated in the Battle of Brunanburh in 937 and succeeded his half brother Athelstan as king in 939. The following year Olaf Godfreyson, a Viking ruler of Dublin, seized the territory of Northumbria in northern England and extended his rule as far south as Leicester. After Olaf's death in 941, Edmund made war on the Vikings, expelling them from the country three years later. In 945 Edmund occupied the kingdom of Strathclyde, west of Northumbria, and turned it over to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, king of Scotland (reigned 943-54). The following year Edmund was stabbed to death by a robber and was succeeded by his brother Edred (reigned 945-55). Edmund was known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the blood feud.

"Anglo Saxon Chronicle", Part 1:
A.D. 495. 'Then succeeded Edmund, his brother, and reigned six years and a half, wanting two nights.'

"Anglo Saxon Chronicle", Part 2:
A.D. 946. This year King Edmund died, on St. Augustine's mass day. That was widely known, how he ended his days: -- that Leof stabbed him at Pucklechurch. And Ethelfleda of Damerham, daughter of Alderman Elgar, was then his queen. And he reigned six years and a half.

The first of the six Boy Kings, he reigned from 939 to 946. He had to meet a general uprising of the Danes of Mercia as well as those of the North. In the suppression of this he showed himself to be a great statesman as well as a great warrior. Little is definitely known about the policy of the Scots at this time but it appears that they joined the English whenever they were afraid of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever they were afraid of the English. Edmund made it to be the interest of the Scottish King permanently to join the English. The southern part of the kingdom of Strathclyde had for some time been under the English Kings. In 945 Edmund took the remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he should be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of the Scots thus entered into a position of dependent alliance towards Edmund. A great step was thus taken; the dominant powers in the island were to be English and Scots, not English and Danes. Edmund thought it worth while to conciliate the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor to conquer them. The result of Edmund's statesmanship was soon seen, but he did not live to gather its fruits. On May 26, 946 an outlaw named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in his hall, slew him as Edmund was attempting to drag him out by his hair

!Name is; Edmund I, "The Magnificent", King Of /ENGLAND/

Edmund I (Old English : Eadmund) (922 - May 26 , 946 ), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan . Athelstan died on October 27 , 939 , and Edmund succeeded him as king.
Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands . When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York . In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland . Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland . During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.
One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his Anglo-Saxon queen Eadgifu , had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned king of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great , who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support for her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard 's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:
“Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black , son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.[2][3]

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]
Edmund's sister Eadgyth , wife to Otto I , died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard 's Annales for 946 report.[6]
Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred , king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
Eadwig of England , King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1 959 .
Edgar of England , king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

Edmund I (940-46 AD)

Son of Edward the Elder, succeeded his half-brother, Æthelstan, with whom he had fought at Brunanburh. Combated the Norse Vikings in Northumbria and subdued them in Cumbria and Strathclyde. He entrusted these lands to an ally, Malcolm I of Scotland. Edmund met his death when he was killed at Pucklechurch, in Gloucestershire, by a robber.

Edmund I, or Edmund the Deed-Doer (Eadmund) (921–May 26, 946) was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan.
Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as King. Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.
Edmund was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been having a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After the outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmund and Leofa were both killed. He was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955.
Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
• Edwin of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1, 959.
• Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

[from Ancestry.com 139798.GED]
Edmund was murdered by an outlaw, Leolf, who stabbed him at a banquet to St. Augustine. Edmund expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944. He supported Dunstan in the introduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict.
The first of six Boy Kings, he reigned from 939-946. He had to meet a general uprising of the Danes of Mercia as well as those of the North. In the suppression of this he showed himself to be a great statesman as well as a great warrior. Little is definitely known about the policy of the Scots at this time but it appears that they joined the English whenever they were afraid of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever they were afraid of the English. Edmund made it to be the interest of the Scottish King permanently to join the English. The southern part of the kingdom of Strathclyde had for some time been under the English Kings. In 945 Edmund took the remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he should be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of the Scots thus entered into a position of dependent alliance towards Edmund. A great step was thus taken; the dominant powers on the island were to be English and Scots, not English and Danes. Edmund thought it worth while to conciliate the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor to conquer them. The result of Edmund's statesmanship was soon seen but he did not live to gather its fruits. On 26 May 946 an outlaw named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in his hall, slew him as Edmund was attempting to drag him out by his hair. He married Elgiva (Aelfgifu), known as the "Fairies Gift", who died in 944.

Edmund I (Old English: Ēadmund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Married:
1. Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, St Ælfgifu, two children:
a) Eadwig
b) Edgar 'the Peaceble'
2. Æthelfled, no children

King Edward "the Elder" & his third wife (EADGIFU, daughter of SIGEHELM Lord of Meopham, Cooling and Lenham in Kent) had four children:

13. EADMUND (921-murdered Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire 26 May 946, bur Glastonbury Abbey[1690]). "Eadmundus regis frater" subscribed charters of King Æthelstan dated 931 and 939, under the latter also being the grantee of land at Droxford, Hampshire[1691]. He fought with his half-brother King Æthelstan at Brunanburh in 937[1692]. He succeeded his half-brother in 939 as EDMUND King of Wessex, crowned 29 Nov 939 at Kingston-upon-Thames. Olaf Guthfrithson King of Dublin invaded England in 939 and by the end of that year had occupied York. In raids on northern Mercia the following year, King Olaf took Tamworth and nearby land, and under a treaty agreed with King Edmund took the whole of modern Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. King Olaf continued by invading Northumbria over the Tees, but died before the end of 940. King Edmund regained the lost territories from Olaf's successor Olaf Sihtricson in 942. King Edmund brought Northumbria under his control in 944, expelling both Olaf Sihtricson and Rægnald Guthfrithson from York. From that time he may be regarded as king of a united England. He ravaged Strathclyde in 945. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death on St Augustine's day 946 of King Edmund[1693]. Simeon of Durham records that King Edmund was killed "VII Kal Jun" in 946 and buried at Glastonbury[1694]. Florence of Worcester records that he was stabbed to death by Leof "a ruffianly thief" while attempting to defend his steward from being robbed[1695].

[m firstly] ([940]) ÆLFGIFU, daughter of --- & his wife Wynflæd --- (-Shaftesbury Abbey after 943).
"Alfgifu concubine regis" subscribed a 943 charter of King Edmund[1696]. This reference suggests that Ælfgifu was not married to King Edmund, corroborated by another charter of the same year1700 in which his [second] wife is differentiated by the epithet "regina" and the dating of which (if accurate) suggests that the king's relationship with both "wives" was simultaneous. If this is correct, Ælfgifu's date of death cannot necessarily be assumed to be [944/46]. She was popularly reputed a saint after her death as St Elgiva[1697]. Ælfgifu was probably the daughter of Wynflæd as "Wynflæd aua mea" is named in King Edgar's grant of confirmations to Shaftesbury Abbey dated 966[1698].

m [secondly] (943 or before) ÆTHELFLÆD, daughter of ÆLFGAR Ealdorman of the Wilsaetas & his wife --- (Damerham, Wiltshire ----Shaftesbury Abbey [after 975/92], bur Shaftesbury Abbey).
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Æthelflæd of Damerham, daughter of ealdorman Ælfgar" as queen of King Edmund in 946[1699]. "Eadmundus rex" granted "Æthelflæd regina sua" lands in Hampshire and Dorset by charter dated 943[1700]. She became a nun at Shaftesbury Abbey.

King Edmund & his first [wife] had two children:

a) EADWIG ([940]-1 Oct 959, bur Winchester Cathedral). "Eaduuius filius regis" subscribed a charter of King Edmund dated 941[1701]. As an infant, he was passed over for the succession in 946 in favour of his uncle. "Eadwig rex" subscribed a charter of King Edmund dated 946 and "Eadwig cliton" one of King Eadred dated 956[1702]. He succeeded his uncle in 955 as EADWIG King of England, crowned [26] Jan 956 at Kingston-upon-Thames. The people of Mercia and Northumbria rebelled against him in 957 and elected his brother Edgar king, after which the River Thames formed the boundary between the two kingdoms[1703]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death 1 Oct 959 of King Eadwig[1704].
m ([955], separated 958) ÆLFGIFU, daughter of [EADRIC & his wife Æthelgifu] (-Gloucester [Sep 959][1705]). There is no direct proof that Ælfgifu whose will is dated to [966/75] was the same person as the wife of King Eadwig but this looks likely. Ælfgifu and her husband were separated on grounds of consanguinity by Oda Archbishop of Canterbury[1706], but the precise relationship has not been found. Weir dates the death of Ælfgifu to [Sep 959][1707] but the source on which this is based is not known and the date is inconsistent with the dating of the will. The will of "Ælfgifu" dated to [966/75] devises estates at Mongewell and Berkhampstead to "Ælfweard and Æthelweard and Ælfwaru", grants to "my sister Ælfwaru…all that I have lent her", and "to my brother's wife Æthelflæd the headband which I have lent her"[1708].

b) EDGAR ([943]-Winchester 8 Jul 975, bur Glastonbury Abbey). Florence of Worcester records the birth of "filium…Eadgarum" to "regi Eadmundo…sua regina sancta Ælfgiva", undated but dateable to [943] from the context[1709]. Reuniting the kingdom on his brother's death, he succeeded in 959 as EDGAR "the Peaceable" King of England.

Military threats
Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Louis IV of France
One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his English queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned King of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support for her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:
“Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.[2][3]”
[edit]Death and succession

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]
Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]
Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
Eadwig of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on 1 October 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king. Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York.

Eadmund I, King of England (1)

Last Edited=4 Dec 2005
Consanguinity Index=0.0%
Eadmund I, King of England was born between 920 and 922. (1) He was the son of Eadweard I, King of Wessex and Eadgifu (?). (2) He married, firstly, Ælfgifu (?) circa 940. (1) He married, secondly, Æthelflæd (?), daughter of Ælfgar, Ealdorman of the Wilsaetas, circa 946. (1)
He died on 26 May 946 at Pucklechurch, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, murdered, by an outlaw named Liofa. (1) He was buried at Glastonbury, Somerset, England.
Eadmund I, King of England also went by the nick-name of Edmund 'the Elder' (?). He succeeded to the title of King Eadmund I of England on 27 October 939.1 He was crowned King of England on 29 November 939 at Kingston-upon-Thames, London, England.1
Edmund was the brother of Athelstan and was only 18 years old on his accession. When Vikings from Ireland invaded, the Archbishop of Canterbury arranged a treaty between them and the English and this divided the country. Later Edmund defeated these Vikings and regained the lost territory. Edmund had allies in the Welsh princes and together they laid waste to Strathclyde. Edmund was warlike and an effective monarch. An interesting story about Edmund concerns Dunstan, who in later years became Archbishop of Canterbury. Edmund and Dunstan were good companions but treacherous courtiers wrongly discredited Dunstan and he was so upset that he contemplated leaving the country he loved so much. Just afterwards, the year was 943, he and Edmund were out riding at Cheddar when Edmund's horse reared up and bolted towards the cliffs of the Gorge. When all seemed lost, the thought struck Edmund of the evil done to Dunstan by the courtiers. He struggled and managed to regain control of his horse and thus avoid the cliffs. He called Dunstan and straightway rode with him to Glastonbury and immediately appointed his good friend as Abbot there.

Edmund I (or Eadmund)
(922 – May 26, 946), called the Elder, the Deed-Doer, the Just or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Military threats
Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Louis IV of France
One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis (IV) d'Outremer to the throne. Louis, son of Charles III and his Anglo-Saxon queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned king of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support for her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:

Edmundus, Anglorum rex, legatos ad Hugonem principem pro restitutione Ludowici regis dirigit: et idem princeps proinde conventus publicos eumnepotibus suis aliisque regni primatibus agit. [...] Hugo, dux Francorum, ascito secum Hugo Nneigro, filio Richardi, ceterisque regni primatibus Ludowicum regem, [...] in regnum restituit.[2] "Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis."[3]

Death and succession
On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]

Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]

Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:

Edwy of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

King Edgar was born around the year 942 in Wessex. He was the younger son of King Edmund I. Because of his peaceful reign Edgar is known as "the Peaceable". He was a stronger king than his elder brother, Edwy, from whom he took the kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia in 958. Edgar was named as King of England north of the Thames by a group of Mercian nobles in 958, but officially succeeded when Edwy died in October 959. Edgar was crowned at Bath, but not at the start of his reign. His coronation was in 973, and was planned as the culmination of his reign. The symbolic coronation was an important step, and six other kings of Britain, including the kings of Scotland and of Strathclyde, came and gave their allegiance to Edgar shortly afterwards at Chester. Edgar married twice, first to Ethelfled, and later to Elfrida. He had several children. When he died on 8 July 975 at Winchester he left two sons, both of whom became kings of England. His eldest son, Edward, by his first wife, succeeded him on his death, and a second son, called Ethelred, by his second wife, succeeded his half brother. Edgar was buried at Glastonbury Abbey. There is some belief that Edgar married his mistress, Wulfryth, in between his other two wives, and that she produced a daughter, Eadgyth, who became the Abbess at Wilton.
--------------------
Edmund, also called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. Edmund succeeded his two brothers as king.

Edmund established safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During Edmund's reign, the revival of the monasteries in England began.

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St. Augustine's day. Edmund had been feasting with his nobles when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.

From http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps05/ps05_476.htm

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle calls him "the deed-doer"; Florence of Worcester calls him "Edmundus magnificus"; "buried at Glastonbury, an abbey which he had entrusted in 943 to the famous Dunstan" {-Encycl.Brit., 1956 Ed., 7:962}. He reigned 940-946. He regained northern England and Strathclyde from the Vikings and gave Strathclyde to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, King of Scots. Edmund I is known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the "blood feud."

5. Edmund I., the Magnificent. was born in 922, the twelfth of his
father's fifteen children. The first of the six Boy Kings, he reigned
from 939 to 946. He had to meet a general uprising of the Danes of
Mercia as well as those of the North. In the suppression of this he
showed himself to be a great statesman as well as a great warrior.
Little is definitely known about the policy of the Scots at this time
but it appears that they joined the English whenever they were afraid
of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever they were afraid of the
English. Edmund made it to be the interest of the Scottish King
permanently to join the English. The southern part of the kingdom of
Strathclyde had for some time been under the English Kings. In 945
Edmund took the remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he
should be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of the Scots
thus entered into a position of dependent alliance towards Edmund. A
great step was thus taken; the dominant powers in the island were
to be English and Scots, not English and Danes. Edmund thought it
worth while to conciliate the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor
to conquer them. The result of Edmund's statesmanship was soon seen,
but he did not live to gather its fruits. On May 26, 946 an outlaw
named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in his hall, slew him
as Edmund was attempting to drag him out by his hair. He was succeeded
by his brother Edred. He married Princess Elgiva (Aelfgifu)., known as
the "Fairies Gift,." who died in 944.

*************
Edmund the Magnificent the Elder. The name Eadmund in Saxon meant "protector of riches" giving an indication of Edmund's presumed role as guardian of the realm. Edmund was the half-brother of Athelstan, and the first child of Edward the Elder’s third marriage. He had been raised in Athelstan's household and once old enough had accompanied Athelstan in several of his campaigns, fighting heroically at Brunanburh in 937. As Athelstan had no children, Edmund succeeded him, even though he was only eighteen. His reign began inauspiciously, as the Norse king of Dublin, Olaf Gothfrithson, regarded him as a weak successor and took the opportunity to regain his family's hold on York. This he did in little over a month after Edmund's succession, followed by his army's march down into Mercia, devastating countryside and towns, including Tamworth, before they were confronted by Edmund at Leicester. A rather ineffectual siege followed from which Olaf and his chief adviser, Wulfstan, archbishop of York, escaped. Talks followed which resulted in Olaf being allowed to retain the kingship over York, as well as rule over the Danish territories in East Anglia and the Five Boroughs. The Danes were none too pleased about this, as they were enemies of the Norse. Nevertheless, Edmund managed to recover from this ignominy. After only eighteen months, Olaf died. His successor, Olaf Sitricson, was not quite his match. Edmund undertook a lightning strike across Mercia in 942 and recovered the Danish territories. Soon after Olaf was driven out of York, and was replaced by his cousin, Ragnall Gothfrithson, who was open to discussion with Edmund and more prepared to accept Christianity. Olaf took refuge in the kingdom of Strathclyde where guerilla warfare now existed between the Norse factions. Edmund took this as an opportunity to resolve the problem once and for all. In 944 he led an army into northern Britain. In the battle in York Ragnall was killed and York came back under Saxon control. The following year the army marched on Strathclyde. Olaf was driven out and back to Ireland. The king Donald was also ejected, and Edmund conquered all of the Norse lands in Cumbria. These he handed to the new Scots king Malcolm (1) on the basis that he would remain faithful to Edmund and not support the Norse.

From an ignominious start, Edmund's reign now looked highly successful. He had regained the territories that he had lost and was recognized as overlord by all the native kings. At twenty-four he should have been set for an auspicious reign, but then tragedy struck. In May 946 Edmund was celebrating the feast of St Augustine at Pucklechurch, north of Bath. During the feast he recognized a thief called Leofa whom Edmund had exiled six years earlier. Edmund asked his steward to arrest the man but a fight followed in which Edmund intervened and was stabbed. He soon died of his wounds. Edmund had two infant sons, Edwy and Edgar, both of whom would become kings, but he was succeeded by his brother Eadred.

Edmund I of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund I (or Eadmund) 922 – May 26, 946), called the Elder, the Deed-Doer, the Just or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan.
Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king. Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.
Edmund was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been having a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After the outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmund and Leofa were both killed. He was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955.
Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
Edwy of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1, 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

Edmund I (Old English: Ēadmund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his English queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned King of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support from her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:

“ Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.”

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire). John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.

Children of EDMUND and ELGIVA are:

i. EDWY (EADWIG), KING OF THE ENGLISH (955-959), b. 941 d. Oct 1, 959 at Gloucester. m. ELGIVA. Buried at Gloucester

5. ii. EDGAR THE PEACEFUL, KING OF THE ENGLISH (959-975) , b. 943; d..July 8, 975 at Winchester. Buried at Glastonbury.

--------------------
When Æthelstan died without immediate successors, Edmund succeeded his half brother as King of England on 10/27/939. He was crowned on 11/29/939 at Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey.

Edmund tried to conquer the north of England. At home, his civil administration wars marked by efforts to enforce order. His secular laws refer to his efforts to prevent robberies. His laws involving murder changed the long time clan-law provision which held not only the murderer but also his entire family responsible for the act. Edmund proposed that the person guilty of murder be held responsible for their own action and stand alone to receive punishment.

His second wife was said to have been Æthelfled, daughter of Ælfgar.

Edmund successfully suppressed rebellions by the Mercian Danes. From 944 onwards, he was effective ruler of all England until his death.

He was murdered at a feast in his own hall, at the age of 25 in 946, after only seven years on the throne. His men slew his murderer immediately thereafter. After his death, he was hallowed as a saint and miracles were worked at his tomb.

His brother Edred succeeded him [Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America, Vol. 1, p. 352; Britain's Royal Families : The Complete Genealogy, p. 16].

Edmund I (Old English: Ēadmund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Married: 1. Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, St Ælfgifu, two children: a) Eadwig b) Edgar 'the Peaceble' 2. Æthelfled, no children

King Edward "the Elder" & his third wife (EADGIFU, daughter of SIGEHELM Lord of Meopham, Cooling and Lenham in Kent) had four children:

13. EADMUND (921-murdered Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire 26 May 946, bur Glastonbury Abbey[1690]). "Eadmundus regis frater" subscribed charters of King Æthelstan dated 931 and 939, under the latter also being the grantee of land at Droxford, Hampshire[1691]. He fought with his half-brother King Æthelstan at Brunanburh in 937[1692]. He succeeded his half-brother in 939 as EDMUND King of Wessex, crowned 29 Nov 939 at Kingston-upon-Thames. Olaf Guthfrithson King of Dublin invaded England in 939 and by the end of that year had occupied York. In raids on northern Mercia the following year, King Olaf took Tamworth and nearby land, and under a treaty agreed with King Edmund took the whole of modern Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. King Olaf continued by invading Northumbria over the Tees, but died before the end of 940. King Edmund regained the lost territories from Olaf's successor Olaf Sihtricson in 942. King Edmund brought Northumbria under his control in 944, expelling both Olaf Sihtricson and Rægnald Guthfrithson from York. From that time he may be regarded as king of a united England. He ravaged Strathclyde in 945. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death on St Augustine's day 946 of King Edmund[1693]. Simeon of Durham records that King Edmund was killed "VII Kal Jun" in 946 and buried at Glastonbury[1694]. Florence of Worcester records that he was stabbed to death by Leof "a ruffianly thief" while attempting to defend his steward from being robbed[1695].

[m firstly] ([940]) ÆLFGIFU, daughter of --- & his wife Wynflæd --- (-Shaftesbury Abbey after 943). "Alfgifu concubine regis" subscribed a 943 charter of King Edmund[1696]. This reference suggests that Ælfgifu was not married to King Edmund, corroborated by another charter of the same year1700 in which his [second] wife is differentiated by the epithet "regina" and the dating of which (if accurate) suggests that the king's relationship with both "wives" was simultaneous. If this is correct, Ælfgifu's date of death cannot necessarily be assumed to be [944/46]. She was popularly reputed a saint after her death as St Elgiva[1697]. Ælfgifu was probably the daughter of Wynflæd as "Wynflæd aua mea" is named in King Edgar's grant of confirmations to Shaftesbury Abbey dated 966[1698].

m [secondly] (943 or before) ÆTHELFLÆD, daughter of ÆLFGAR Ealdorman of the Wilsaetas & his wife --- (Damerham, Wiltshire ----Shaftesbury Abbey [after 975/92], bur Shaftesbury Abbey). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Æthelflæd of Damerham, daughter of ealdorman Ælfgar" as queen of King Edmund in 946[1699]. "Eadmundus rex" granted "Æthelflæd regina sua" lands in Hampshire and Dorset by charter dated 943[1700]. She became a nun at Shaftesbury Abbey.

King Edmund & his first [wife] had two children:

a) EADWIG ([940]-1 Oct 959, bur Winchester Cathedral). "Eaduuius filius regis" subscribed a charter of King Edmund dated 941[1701]. As an infant, he was passed over for the succession in 946 in favour of his uncle. "Eadwig rex" subscribed a charter of King Edmund dated 946 and "Eadwig cliton" one of King Eadred dated 956[1702]. He succeeded his uncle in 955 as EADWIG King of England, crowned [26] Jan 956 at Kingston-upon-Thames. The people of Mercia and Northumbria rebelled against him in 957 and elected his brother Edgar king, after which the River Thames formed the boundary between the two kingdoms[1703]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death 1 Oct 959 of King Eadwig[1704]. m ([955], separated 958) ÆLFGIFU, daughter of [EADRIC & his wife Æthelgifu] (-Gloucester [Sep 959][1705]). There is no direct proof that Ælfgifu whose will is dated to [966/75] was the same person as the wife of King Eadwig but this looks likely. Ælfgifu and her husband were separated on grounds of consanguinity by Oda Archbishop of Canterbury[1706], but the precise relationship has not been found. Weir dates the death of Ælfgifu to [Sep 959][1707] but the source on which this is based is not known and the date is inconsistent with the dating of the will. The will of "Ælfgifu" dated to [966/75] devises estates at Mongewell and Berkhampstead to "Ælfweard and Æthelweard and Ælfwaru", grants to "my sister Ælfwaru…all that I have lent her", and "to my brother's wife Æthelflæd the headband which I have lent her"[1708].

b) EDGAR ([943]-Winchester 8 Jul 975, bur Glastonbury Abbey). Florence of Worcester records the birth of "filium…Eadgarum" to "regi Eadmundo…sua regina sancta Ælfgiva", undated but dateable to [943] from the context[1709]. Reuniting the kingdom on his brother's death, he succeeded in 959 as EDGAR "the Peaceable" King of England. - see below.

------------------------------- (Wikipedia cont) Military threats Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Louis IV of France One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his English queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned King of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support for her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report: “Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.[2][3]” [edit]Death and succession

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5] Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6] Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as: Eadwig of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on 1 October 959. Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

Eadmund I, King of England was born between 920 and 922. (1) He was the son of Eadweard I, King of Wessex and Eadgifu (?). (2) He married, firstly, Ælfgifu (?) circa 940. (1) He married, secondly, Æthelflæd (?), daughter of Ælfgar, Ealdorman of the Wilsaetas, circa 946. (1)
He died on 26 May 946 at Pucklechurch, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, murdered, by an outlaw named Liofa. (1) He was buried at Glastonbury, Somerset, England.

Eadmund I, King of England also went by the nick-name of Edmund 'the Elder' (?). He succeeded to the title of King Eadmund I of England on 27 October 939.1 He was crowned King of England on 29 November 939 at Kingston-upon-Thames, London, England.1 Edmund was the brother of Athelstan and was only 18 years old on his accession. When Vikings from Ireland invaded, the Archbishop of Canterbury arranged a treaty between them and the English and this divided the country. Later Edmund defeated these Vikings and regained the lost territory. Edmund had allies in the Welsh princes and together they laid waste to Strathclyde. Edmund was warlike and an effective monarch. An interesting story about Edmund concerns Dunstan, who in later years became Archbishop of Canterbury. Edmund and Dunstan were good companions but treacherous courtiers wrongly discredited Dunstan and he was so upset that he contemplated leaving the country he loved so much. Just afterwards, the year was 943, he and Edmund were out riding at Cheddar when Edmund's horse reared up and bolted towards the cliffs of the Gorge. When all seemed lost, the thought struck Edmund of the evil done to Dunstan by the courtiers. He struggled and managed to regain control of his horse and thus avoid the cliffs. He called Dunstan and straightway rode with him to Glastonbury and immediately appointed his good friend as Abbot there.

Louis, son of Charles III and his Anglo-Saxon queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned king of France.

Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]

Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:

Edwy of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1 959. Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

-------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_I_of_England -------------------- wiki King Edgar was born around the year 942 in Wessex. He was the younger son of King Edmund I. Because of his peaceful reign Edgar is known as "the Peaceable". He was a stronger king than his elder brother, Edwy, from whom he took the kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia in 958. Edgar was named as King of England north of the Thames by a group of Mercian nobles in 958, but officially succeeded when Edwy died in October 959. Edgar was crowned at Bath, but not at the start of his reign. His coronation was in 973, and was planned as the culmination of his reign. The symbolic coronation was an important step, and six other kings of Britain, including the kings of Scotland and of Strathclyde, came and gave their allegiance to Edgar shortly afterwards at Chester. Edgar married twice, first to Ethelfled, and later to Elfrida. He had several children. When he died on 8 July 975 at Winchester he left two sons, both of whom became kings of England. His eldest son, Edward, by his first wife, succeeded him on his death, and a second son, called Ethelred, by his second wife, succeeded his half brother. Edgar was buried at Glastonbury Abbey. There is some belief that Edgar married his mistress, Wulfryth, in between his other two wives, and that she produced a daughter, Eadgyth, who became the Abbess at Wilton. -------------------- Edmund, also called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. Edmund succeeded his two brothers as king.

Edmund established safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During Edmund's reign, the revival of the monasteries in England began.

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St. Augustine's day. Edmund had been feasting with his nobles when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed. -------------------- From http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps05/ps05_476.htm

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle calls him "the deed-doer"; Florence of Worcester calls him "Edmundus magnificus"; "buried at Glastonbury, an abbey which he had entrusted in 943 to the famous Dunstan" {-Encycl.Brit., 1956 Ed., 7:962}. He reigned 940-946. He regained northern England and Strathclyde from the Vikings and gave Strathclyde to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, King of Scots. Edmund I is known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the "blood feud."

5. Edmund I., the Magnificent. was born in 922, the twelfth of his father's fifteen children. The first of the six Boy Kings, he reigned from 939 to 946. He had to meet a general uprising of the Danes of Mercia as well as those of the North. In the suppression of this he showed himself to be a great statesman as well as a great warrior. Little is definitely known about the policy of the Scots at this time but it appears that they joined the English whenever they were afraid of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever they were afraid of the English. Edmund made it to be the interest of the Scottish King permanently to join the English. The southern part of the kingdom of Strathclyde had for some time been under the English Kings. In 945 Edmund took the remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he should be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of the Scots thus entered into a position of dependent alliance towards Edmund. A great step was thus taken; the dominant powers in the island were to be English and Scots, not English and Danes. Edmund thought it worth while to conciliate the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor to conquer them. The result of Edmund's statesmanship was soon seen, but he did not live to gather its fruits. On May 26, 946 an outlaw named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in his hall, slew him as Edmund was attempting to drag him out by his hair. He was succeeded by his brother Edred. He married Princess Elgiva (Aelfgifu)., known as the "Fairies Gift,." who died in 944.

************
Edmund the Magnificent the Elder. The name Eadmund in Saxon meant "protector of riches" giving an indication of Edmund's presumed role as guardian of the realm. Edmund was the half-brother of Athelstan, and the first child of Edward the Elder’s third marriage. He had been raised in Athelstan's household and once old enough had accompanied Athelstan in several of his campaigns, fighting heroically at Brunanburh in 937. As Athelstan had no children, Edmund succeeded him, even though he was only eighteen. His reign began inauspiciously, as the Norse king of Dublin, Olaf Gothfrithson, regarded him as a weak successor and took the opportunity to regain his family's hold on York. This he did in little over a month after Edmund's succession, followed by his army's march down into Mercia, devastating countryside and towns, including Tamworth, before they were confronted by Edmund at Leicester. A rather ineffectual siege followed from which Olaf and his chief adviser, Wulfstan, archbishop of York, escaped. Talks followed which resulted in Olaf being allowed to retain the kingship over York, as well as rule over the Danish territories in East Anglia and the Five Boroughs. The Danes were none too pleased about this, as they were enemies of the Norse. Nevertheless, Edmund managed to recover from this ignominy. After only eighteen months, Olaf died. His successor, Olaf Sitricson, was not quite his match. Edmund undertook a lightning strike across Mercia in 942 and recovered the Danish territories. Soon after Olaf was driven out of York, and was replaced by his cousin, Ragnall Gothfrithson, who was open to discussion with Edmund and more prepared to accept Christianity. Olaf took refuge in the kingdom of Strathclyde where guerilla warfare now existed between the Norse factions. Edmund took this as an opportunity to resolve the problem once and for all. In 944 he led an army into northern Britain. In the battle in York Ragnall was killed and York came back under Saxon control. The following year the army marched on Strathclyde. Olaf was driven out and back to Ireland. The king Donald was also ejected, and Edmund conquered all of the Norse lands in Cumbria. These he handed to the new Scots king Malcolm (1) on the basis that he would remain faithful to Edmund and not support the Norse.

From an ignominious start, Edmund's reign now looked highly successful. He had regained the territories that he had lost and was recognized as overlord by all the native kings. At twenty-four he should have been set for an auspicious reign, but then tragedy struck. In May 946 Edmund was celebrating the feast of St Augustine at Pucklechurch, north of Bath. During the feast he recognized a thief called Leofa whom Edmund had exiled six years earlier. Edmund asked his steward to arrest the man but a fight followed in which Edmund intervened and was stabbed. He soon died of his wounds. Edmund had two infant sons, Edwy and Edgar, both of whom would become kings, but he was succeeded by his brother Eadred.

Reign 27 October,939 – 26 May,946 Predecessor Athelstan Successor Eadred Spouse Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury; Æthelflæd of Damerham Issue Eadwig Edgar Father Edward the Elder Mother Eadgifu of Kent Born 921 Wessex, England Died 26 May 946 Pucklechurch, Wessex, England Burial Glastonbury Abbey

Edmund I (Old English: Ēadmund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his English queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned King of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support from her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:

“ Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.”

On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire). John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.

Children of EDMUND and ELGIVA are:

i. EDWY (EADWIG), KING OF THE ENGLISH (955-959), b. 941 d. Oct 1, 959 at Gloucester. m. ELGIVA. Buried at Gloucester

5. ii. EDGAR THE PEACEFUL, KING OF THE ENGLISH (959-975) , b. 943; d..July 8, 975 at Winchester. Buried at Glastonbury.

-------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_I_of_England -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_I_of_England -------------------- When Æthelstan died without immediate successors, Edmund succeeded his half brother as King of England on 10/27/939. He was crowned on 11/29/939 at Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey.

Edmund tried to conquer the north of England. At home, his civil administration wars marked by efforts to enforce order. His secular laws refer to his efforts to prevent robberies. His laws involving murder changed the long time clan-law provision which held not only the murderer but also his entire family responsible for the act. Edmund proposed that the person guilty of murder be held responsible for their own action and stand alone to receive punishment.

His second wife was said to have been Æthelfled, daughter of Ælfgar.

Edmund successfully suppressed rebellions by the Mercian Danes. From 944 onwards, he was effective ruler of all England until his death.

He was murdered at a feast in his own hall, at the age of 25 in 946, after only seven years on the throne. His men slew his murderer immediately thereafter. After his death, he was hallowed as a saint and miracles were worked at his tomb.

His brother Edred succeeded him [Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America, Vol. 1, p. 352; Britain's Royal Families : The Complete Genealogy, p. 16]. -------------------- Edmund I (Old English: Ēadmund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Military threats Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria.

Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

[edit] Louis IV of France One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne.

He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]

Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]

Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:

Eadwig of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on 1 October 959. Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975. -------------------- Acceded 29 NOV 939 Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England .

Reigned 940-946. Murdered: An Outlaw, Leolf, stabbed him to death at a banquet to St.Augustine. He expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944. He supported Dunstan in the reintroduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict. Shows Saint AElfgifu as the mother of all his children and says that he was also married to AEthelflaed of Domerham.

Byname Edmund The Deed-doer, Latin Edmundus Magnificus king of theEnglish (939–946), who recaptured areas of northern England that had beenoccupied by the Vikings.
He was the son of the West Saxon king Edward the Elder (reigned899/924) and the half brother of King Athelstan (reigned 924/939), underwhom the political unification of England had been
accomplished. On Athelstan's death (939), Olaf Guthfrithson, the Norseking of Dublin, occupied Northumbria and raided the Midlands.
Edmund recovered the Midlands after Olaf died in 942, and in 944 heregained Northumbria, driving out the Norse kings Olaf Sihtricson andRaegnald. He captured Strathclyde in 945 and entrusted it to Malcolm I,king of Scots, in return for a promise of military support. Thus, Edmundinaugurated a policy of establishing a secure frontier and peacefulrelations with Scotland. In addition, his reign marks the beginning ofthe 10th-century monastic revival in England. The king was killed in hispalace by an exiled robber and was succeeded by his brother, Eadred(reigned 946/955); Edmund's sons eventually acceded to power as kingsEadwig (reigned 957/959) and Edgar (reigned 959/975).

Edmund I the Elder, King of Englandfrom 939 to his death in 946
Born in 921
Died on May 26, 946 at Pucklechurch, Dorset and interred at GlastonburyAbbey, Somerset
Edmund defeated two Norse kings in Northumbria and also defeated theBritons in Strathclyde who had been supporting the Norsemen. He then gaveStrathclyde to King Malcolm I of Scotland in return for a treaty ofalliance. This ensured a half century of peace between Scotland and SaxonEngland.
Edmund was murdered by an outlaw named Leolf who stabbed him to deathat a banquet to St.Augustine on May 26, 946 at Pucklechurch, Dorset.

Edmund married first to St. Ælfgifu (died in 944) and they had thefollowing children:

Ædwig (Edwy) "the Fair", King of England 955/6 - 959, was born circa 942and died on October 1, 959. Ædwig "the Fair" or "good looking" was onlyabout 14 or 15 when he came to the throne, and a choice scandal soondeveloped. Ædwig left the coronation celebration with Æthelgifu and herdaughter Ælfgifu for a private celebration in a bedroom. Both mother anddaughter were trying to entice the teenaged king into marriage. AbbotDunstan and Bishop Cynesige found Ædwig "with his crown thrown aside, inthe company of the two ladies." After a violent scene, Abbot Dunstanhauled Ædwig, crowned, back to the official feast. Æthelgifu, who wasbehind the seduction, never forgave Abbot Dunstan and was largelyresponsible for depriving him of his property and compelling him to leavethe country. Ædwig married to Ælfgifu and her mother Æthelgifu appears tohave stayed on as a mistress. Everyone was duly shocked and appalled.
a daughter
Edgar the Peaceful, King of England 959 - 975
Edmund married second to Æthelfæd of Domerham, a daughter of Ælfgar,Ealdorman of Wiltshire; but there don't seem to have been any children.

Reigned 940-946. An outlaw, Leolf, stabbed him to death at a banquet toSt. Augustine. He expelled the Norse King Olaf from Nothumbria in 944. Hesupported Dunstan in the reintroduction of the Monastic rule of St.Benedict.

Ruled England 940-946 Born 920 Crowned at Kingston upon Thames November940. Buried at Glastombury, Somerset, Edmund was called by theAnglo-Saxon chronicler "doer of great deeds" and, since this was renderedmagnificus in Latin, he is often known in history as the Magnificent. Buthe is also called the Elder. He was one of the sons of Edward the Elderand, like his forefathers, he was a great soldier. Unfortunately hisreign, which had been so full of hope and promise, was brought
to a sudden and violent end. When only twenty-five years of age he wasstabbed to death whilst trying to save a friend in what can only bedescribed as a palace scuffle. Such things, one may be sure, were notinfrequent in those violent days

Edmund I (or Eadmund) (922 - May 26, 946), called the Elder, the Deed-Doer, the Just or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.

Military threats
Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Louis IV of France
One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his Anglo-Saxon queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned king of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support for her son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:

" Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the kingdom King Louis.[2][3] "

Death and succession
On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]

Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]

Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:

Eadwig of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England from 959 until 975.

BIOGRAPHY
Edmund was born about 921, the son of Edward I 'the Elder', king of England, and Eadgifu. He continued the re-conquest of England from the Vikings; in 942 he won back Mercia and in 944 Northumbria. A year later he ravaged all Strathclyde and ceded it to Malcolm, king of Scots, on the condition that he would be his ally both by sea and land. It is said that Edmund had ill-treated Dunstan, the future saint, who was preparing to go into exile. The story goes that King Edmund was hunting a stag, which darted up through the woods to the top of Cheddar gorge. Seeing no way of escape it leapt over the cliff, followed by the baying hounds. The king saw his danger, but his horse was beyond his power to control. The wrong done to Dunstan flashed through his mind and he vowed to make amends if his life was spared. On the very edge the horse stopped short and turned aside. When the king returned home he sent for Dunstan and asked to accompany him to Glastonbury. There he sat Dunstan in the abbot's seat and bade him to rule the house he loved.

With his first wife Aelgifu he had two sons, Edwy and Edgar, who would be kings of England. Only Edgar is recorded as having progeny. Aelgifu died about 944, and Edmund married Aethelflaed of Damerham, but had no children by her.

The murder of Edmund was described by the Anglo-Saxon chronicler, William of Malmesbury, but was later embellished. A robber named Leofa, whom the king had banished for his crimes, returning totally unexpected after six years' absence, was sitting among the guests at Pucklechurch in Gloucestershire on 26 May 946. While the others were carousing, Leofa was spotted by the king alone, who leapt from the table, caught the robber by the hair and dragged him to the floor. However Leofa drew a dagger and plunged it into the breast of the king as he lay upon him. The robber was then torn limb from limb by the king's attendants who rushed in.

Edmund was succeeded as king by his younger brother Edred.

He took part in the Battle of Brunarburh in 937 and ruled from 940 to 946.
