BIOGRAPHY
Edmund was the son of Aethelred II 'the Unready', king of England, and Elfgiva. He was chosen king by the Londoners on his father's death in April 1016, while Knud 'den Store' (also spelt Canute) was elected at Southampton by the Witan (the council of the Anglo-Saxon kings in and of England). Edmund hastily levied an army in the west, defeated Knud twice, raised the siege of London, and again routed the Danes. Known as 'Ironside' for his courage, he devoted his short reign to defending his inheritance against the ravages of Knud.

In this he was severely hampered by the behaviour of one of his father's favourites, Edric Streona (Grasper). On one battlefield Edric mounted a hill and held up a severed head, saying it was Edmund's. At this the king removed his helmet to show himself alive, then violently hurled his spear at Edric. Glancing off Edric's shield, the spear pierced two soldiers standing beside him.

Defeat at the battle of Ashington forced Edmund to make terms with Knud and they agreed to divide the kingdom, Knud retaining Mercia and Northumbria, Edmund all the south, the survivor to succeed to the whole. It appears that King Edmund was murdered a few days afterwards on 30 November 1016.
