     Though overshadowed by his father Alfred and upstaged by his son Athelstan, it was Edward who reconquered much of England from the Danes (909-919), permanently united Mercia with Wessex (918-919), established an administration for the kingdom of England, and secured the allegiance of Danes, Scots, Britons, and English. Well educated and well trained by Alfred, he nevertheless had to overcome a rival for the throne (899-903). Using Alfred's methods and in alliance with Mercia, he spread English influence and control. The Danes of Northumbria were defeated (910) at Tettenhall (Staffs.), the Viking kingdom of York acknowledged his power (918), and most Welsh kings submitted to him.

     "Handsome and charming, short, slim, and strong, Edgar was the younger son of King Edmund I(939-946) and Queen AElfgifu, and was probably brought up at the court of his uncle, King Eadred (946-955), and his brother, Eing Eadwig (955-959). Chosen king in Mercia and the Danelaw in 957, it was only when Eadwig died that he was proclaimed king of all the English. His reputation among European rulers and in the Middle Ages rested partly on his association with Archbishop Dunstan, and his patronage of Bishops AEthelwold and Oswald and the monastic reform movement. The Regularis concordia (Monastic Agreement c.970) praised him as the glorious, by the grace of Christ illustrious king of the English and of the other peoples dwelling within the bounds of the island of Britain. He was spared Viking attacks and so was able to treat the south and the Danelaw as intergral parts of his kingdom. He led an expedition against the king of Gwynedd (c.968) and established friendly relations with Kenneth II by ceding Lothian; he conciliated his Danish subjects by employing some in his service. Edgar's dominion was signalled by a series of self-conscious acts c.973: his coronation at Bath which was reminiscent of the crowing of his kinsman, Otto the Great, as German emperor (952), and the formal submission of British, Scottish, and Welsh kings at Chester, where they supposedly rowed him on the Dee. He raised new fleets (shipfyrd) and was remembered as having sailed round his kingdom every wintr and spring! His coinage (c.973) was uniform throughout the realm and used as a model during the next two centuries. A stern and uncompromising judge, he instilled order in the realm and promoted effective government.
