Eadwig Eadwig was the son of Edmund I and succeeded his uncle Eadred in his mid teens. Eadwig made an enemy of Bishop Dunstan, who he drove into exile in Flanders. The disupte supposedly began with Dunstan finding Eadwig with a woman (and possibly her mother) on the day of his consecration, chasting him and leading him back to the banquet being held in his honour. Elfgifu, the woman he was found with later became his wife.
Eadwig died at the age of 20 and was succeeded by his brother Edgar. |
