Edgar
959-975
House of Wessex

Edgar, youngest son of Edmund I, succeeded his brother Eadwig. In 957 Edgar was given Mercia and Northumbria to rule and he brought Dunstan out of exile, appointing him Bishop of Worcester. When Eadwig died, Edgar appointed Dunstan Archbishop of Cantebury and began the establishment of Benedictine monastaries throughout England.

He married Ethelflaed Eneda in 960 and had a son named Edward before her death in 963. His second wife Aelfthrith became the first to be crowned Queen of England at Edgar's late coronation of 973.

Edgar died on 8th July 975 and was succeeded by his son Edward.
