Edgar was the younger brother of Edwy the previous king. Dunstan, who had been exiled by Edwy, was recalled and appointed archbishop of Canterbury. Dunstan organised an elaborate coronation for Edgar at Bath and afterwards had a powerful influence on the king. Edgar associated himself closely with the church and his reign was peaceful and the country was well organised. The courts of justice functioned well and both education an literature flourished. In 973 all the lesser kings, including the Welsh princes, promised allegiance and eight of them made a symbollic gesture by rowing a barge with the king at the helm upon the river Dee. This was a golden era.
