    Konge. 
    • Regnes som den første konge over hele England.

      Edvard var sønn av Alfred den store, og kom til makten ved farens død. Tittelen han arvet var konge av Wessex, men på dette tidspunkt kontrollerte Wessex størsteparten av dagens England og han regnes derfor som konge av England og ikke bare av Wessex.

      Han ville normalt være regnet som Edvard 1, men etter normannisk tradisjon begynte man etter Vilhelm Erobreren å telle på nytt, slik at det 3 kongene som het Edvard før den tid er kjent etter sine tilnavn.

      Han kuet danene og ble anerkjent som Wales' herre. Hadde flere slag mot vikingene og greide å slå dem i Øst-Anglia, hvor de ble underkuet.
      Han overgikk sin far på slagmarken, noe som er en bragd ettersom Alfred med hell forsvarte sitt rike og fastsatte grenser for Danelagen.

      Fra 918, da søsteren Ethelfleda døde, hadde Edvard kontroll over Danelagen.

      I de tidligste årene av hans regjeringstid måtte han i tillegg til danene også kjempe mot sin fetter Aethelwald, sønn av Ethelred 1.

      Edvard var gift 3 ganger, og fikk omkring 18 barn med sine koner. I tillegg mistenkes det at han hadde et barn utenom ekteskap. [1]
