BIOGRAPHY
Edgar was born about 943, the son of Edmund I 'the Magnificent', king of England, and St. Aelgifu. Edgar was said to have been handsome and charming, short, slim, and strong. Edgar was probably brought up at the court of his uncle, King Eadwig. Chosen king in Mercia and the Danelaw in 957, he was proclaimed king of all the English after the death of Eadwig.

Edgar and his second wife Elfrida, daughter of Ordgar, ealdorman of Devon, had two sons of whom Aethelred would have progeny.

He was spared Viking attacks, and was able to treat the south and 'the Danelaw' as integral parts of his kingdom. He led an expedition against the king of Gwynedd (circa 968) and established friendly relations with Kenneth II by ceding Lothian. He conciliated his Danish subjects by employing some in his service. Raising new fleets ('shipfyrd'), he was remembered as having sailed round his kingdom every winter and spring. A stern and uncompromising judge, he instilled order in the realm and promoted effective government.

Edgar died on 8 July 975, and was buried at Glastonbury Abbey. He was succeeded by his eldest son Edward.
