In 1057 she arrived at the English court of Edward the Confessor. Ten years later she was in exile after William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings. She fled to Scotland where she was married against her wishes to King Malcolm to whom she bore six sons and two daughters. Her unlearned and boo ish husband grew daily more graceful and Christian under the queen's graceful influence. Her remains were removed to Escorial Spain and her head to Douai, France.

 1031 - 1093 King Malcolm III 62 62 1020 Agatha 1015 - 1057 Edward Atheling 42 42 Some say Atheling married Agatha daughter of Stephen, and some say Aga tha was the daughter of Henry II of Germany. Stephen is accepted as bei ng incorrect, and other more complex relationships have been postulated. O ne has been shown here which is attributed to David Boles . Also called Edward the Exile 0990 Ealdgyth 0989 - 1016 Edmund Ironside 27 27 Acceded April, 1016, Saint Paul's Cathedral, London City, Middlesex (n ow London), England, King of England. Edmund was prominent in the fighti ng against CANUTE. On AEthelred's death, Edmund was proclaimed king althou gh Canute received the support of over half of England. After the batt le of Assandun (Oct. 18, 1016), he and Canute came to terms and partition ed England, but Edmund was murdered at the instigation of his brother-in-l aw, Edric, the next month. His courage earned him the name Ironside.

 0963 - 1001 Alfflaed 38 38 Some say Aethelbert, Ealdorman, was Alfflaed's father.
 0968 - 1016 Aethelred II The Unready 48 48 Acceded April 4, 978, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England King of En gland. AEthelred II was the son of King Edgar and half brother of Edwa rd the Martyr. Following the assassination of his brother, Edward, AEthelr ed II was propelled upon the English throne at the age of 10 years. The ci rcumstance of his rise to power, as a pawn in the ambitions of others, d id not alter throughout his 48 years of life. His reign was marked by bit ter military struggles. All through his reign he was shackled by the fa ct that he could not fully trust the support of his generals, both milita ry and political, at a time when the fearsome Danish invaders were a const ant threat to the English. In an act of, what proved to be, futile appeas ement AEthelred attempted to stem the Danish ambitions by paying what w as known as Danegeld. The Danegeld imposed in 1100 was a general tax levi ed to support the king's forces as he ravages Cumberland and Anglese y. In addition, AEthelred demanded that merchants wishing to trade in Lon don pay a tax in peppercorns for the privilege. In 1009 the King of the Da nes, Sweyn decided that as well as keeping the territory, and monies, he h ad taken from the English he would now pursue the whole country. Four yea rs later, in 1013, Sweyn I, the Forkbeard, King of Denmark, had overrun t he country and AEthelred had fled to Normandy to seek protection from Emma 's brother, Robert the Good. This flight brings into the picture the gran dson of Robert the Good, William, later to be known as William the Conquer or. Although AEthelred paid tribute to the plundering Danes, Sweyn invad ed England in 1013 and proclaimed himself king. In 1014 AEthelred fl ed to Normandy but returned a few months later upon Sweyn's death. Swe yn died in 1014 and AEthelred reclaimed the English crown for a further t wo years before his death at the age of 48 in 1016. Sweyn's son and succe ssor, Canute II, invaded the country a year later and, following AEthelred 's death, became king of England.

2. The nickname of Unready is thought to derive from the Saxon word meani ng "with no reputable policy" which can be taken as both accurate and iron ic in that AEthelred is itself said to have meant "noble policy". Also, AE thelred's sobriquet, "The Unready," is a corruption of the Old English unr aed, "bad counsel," which is a reference to his misfortunes.

AEthelred was married twice. His first wife, AElfigfu of Mercia (Elfre da or Alfflaed) bore him no less than 13 children: Athelstan, Ecgbert, Edm und II Ironside, Edred, Edwy (Edwig), Edward, Edgar, Wulfhild, Edgyrth (Ed ith), AElfgifu, two other daughters whose names are not commonly record ed and Edric.

His second marriage, to Emma of Normandy, daughter of Richard I, Duke of N ormandy, produced three children, Saint Edward the Confessor, Alfred Athli ng and Godifu (Goda). After negotiating a treaty with Richard II, Du ke of Normandy (reigned about 996-1026), AEthelred married Richard's sist er Emma. This marriage provided the basis for the subsequent Norman cla im to the English throne.

 0945 - 1000 Aelfthryth 55 55 Daughter of Ordgar. AEelfthryth was the first consort to be crowned queen of England. She became a nun in 986.
 0943 - 0975 Edgar The Peaceful Wessex King 32 32 1. Acceded May 11, 973, Bath Abbey King of England although ruling from O ctober 1, 959. This delay was becasue Saint Dunstan, Archbishop of Canter bury, disaproved of his way of life. Edgar, or Eadgar, was the younger s on of King Edmund I. Edgar had challenged his predecessor to the thron e, and had taken over Mercia at the age of fourteen. He gained the Engli sh throne when he was sixteen. His reign was one of orderly prosperity. He initiated widespread monastic reforms and granted practical autono my to the Danes in England in return for their loyalty. He was the King w ho made the public recognition of English majesty, by a delayed coronation, fourteen years after his accession, and was paid homage by all the Scottish and Welsh kings, who were said to have rowed him on the Dee at Chester. His queen Aelfthryth was the first consort to be crowned queen of England.


2. In 957, during the rule of his brother, King Edwy, Edgar was chos en by the Mercians and Northumbrians to be their sovereign. One of his fir st acts was to recall the monastic reformer St. Dunstan, whom Edwy had exi led; Edgar subsequently made Dunstan bishop of Worcester and London and ar chbishop of Canterbury. In 959 Edgar succeeded to the entire English Kingd om. His reign was notable for the establishment of national consolidatio n, reformation of the clergy, improvement of the judiciary system, and for mation of a fleet to defend the coast against the Scandinavian Vikings.

3. It is claimed that he stole his second wife from a nunnery, but before marrying her, he made her be a mistress for some years. Knowing that doing this would have put him in rather an unfavorable light in the the eyes of the Church, Edgar helped a monastic revival within England. He founded forty religious houses, and aided architecture at this time.

He was lucky to have the sagious advice of three saints who were alive in this era, and the fact that they were canonized in this time, giv es great praise to the reign of Edgar. His reign eventually gave great power to the Church Ordgar 0920 - 0944 Aelfgifu 24 24 0920 - 0946 Edmund I The Magnificent 26 26 Acceded November 29, 939 at Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England reig ning 940 - 946. He expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944 and supported Dunstan in the reintroduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict.

 D. 0968 Eadgifu D. 0924 Edward The Elder Acceded May 31, 900, King of England. He was the successor of his father fighting with him against the Danes who he defeated in 918, taking East Anglia. He also conquered Mercia (918) and Northumbria (920) He was apprently joint king with his father and gradually became ruler of all England..
 Sigehelm of Kent Sigehelm was also Lord of Meapham, Culings and Lenham.
 Ealhswith of the Gaini 0849 - 0899 Alfred The Great 50 50 Alfred, The Great (849-99), king of the West Saxons (871-99) was the only English king called "Great" and was one of the outstanding figures of English history. He was the youngest of five sons of King AEthelwulf. On the death of his brother, Ethelred, Alfred became king, coming to t he throne during a Danish invasion. Although he succeeded in making pea ce with the Danes, they resumed their marauding expeditions five years later, and by early 878 they were successful almost everywhere. About East er of 878, however, Alfred established himself at Athelney and began assembling an army. In the middle of that year he defeated the Danes and captur ed their stronghold, probably at present-day Edington. During the following 14 years Alfred was able to devote himself to the internal affairs of h is kingdom. By 886 he had captured the city of London, and soon afterwa rd he was recognized as the king of all England.

In 893 the Danes invaded England again, and the following four years we re marked by warfare; eventually, the Danes were forced to withdraw from A lfred's domain. The only ruler to resist Danish invasions successfully, Al fred made his kingdom the rallying point for all Saxons, thus laying the f oundation for the unification of England.

Alfred was a patron of learning and did much for the education of his peop le. He began a court school and invited British and foreign scholars, nota bly the Welsh monk Asser and the Irish-born philosopher and theologian Jo hn Scotus Erigena, to come there. Alfred translated such works as The Cons olation of Philosophy by the Roman statesman and philosopher Boethius, T he History of the World by the Spanish priest Paulus Orosius, and Pastor al Care by Pope Gregory I. Alfred's laws, the first promulgated in more than a century, were the first that made no distinction between the English and the Welsh peoples.

Alfred founded the British Navy and organized the Militia.

 0775 - 0838 Egbert III 63 63
1. Acceded 802 King of Wessex reigning to 839.

2. Egbert (ca 775-839), king of Wessex (802-39), and the first Saxon ki ng recognized as sovereign of all England (828-39)- the first "King of Eng land". He was the son of a Kentish noble but claimed descent from Cerdic ( reigned 519-34), founder of Wessex, the kingdom of the West Saxons in sout hern England. During the late 8th century, when King Offa of Mercia (reign ed 757-96) ruled most of England, Egbert lived in exile at the court of Charlemagne.

In 800 at the decease of King Brithric, Egbert was called by the voi ce of his countrymen to assume the Government of Wessex, and he subsequently succeeded in reducing all the Kingdoms of the Heptarchy under his swa y. His reign, a long and glorious one, is memorable for the great victori es he achieved over the Danes.

Egbert regained his kingdom in 802. He conquered the neighboring kingdo ms of Kent, Cornwall, and Mercia, and by 830 he was also acknowledged as s overeign of East Anglia, Sussex, Surrey, and Northumbria and was given the title of Bretwalda (Anglo-Saxon, "ruler of the British"). During succee ding years Egbert led expeditions against the Welsh and the Vikings. The year before his death he defeated a combined force of Danes and Welsh at Hingston Down in Cornwall. He was succeeded by his son Ethelwulf, the father of Alfred the Great.
