Notities over Edmund I van Engeland

Koning van 939 tot 946. Vermoord door rovers.
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 devided 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 te 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 conrol of his horse and thus avoid the cliffs. He called Dunstan and straightway rode him to Glastonbury and immediately appointed his good friend as abbot there.
