----------------------
or Prince Edgar, son of Edward Atheling, also called Edward the Outlaw, and grandson of Edmund Ironside <kinge.html>, was probably born in Hungary, whither his father and uncle, then children, had been sent after the accession of Canute <kingc.html>. He came to England with his father in 1057, but though he was rightful heir to the throne on the death of Edward the Confessor <kingedw.html>, his claims were passed over. After the fall of Harold <kingh.html> at the battle of Hastings, he was actually proclaimed king at London, and appears to have been recognized for some time as such; however, he was one of the first to profess submission to the Conqueror <kingw.html>, whom in the next year he followed into Normandy. In 1068 he was in Scotland, and his sister Margaret was married not long after to King Malcolm <kingscot.html>. He took part in the invasion of England and the storming of York Castle in 1069, and was induced on several occasions subsequently to make rash attempts of a similar kind, followed by formal reconciliation with William. In 1086 he went to Italy, and is said to have joined the Norman bands there. In 1098 his nephew Edgar, with his aid, was raised to the Scottish throne. In the civil war between Henry I. <kingh.html> and his brother Robert, duke of Normandy, Edgar joined the latter, and was captured by Henry at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. The year of his death is unknown.
Edgar was proclaimed king in London, after Harold's death at the battle of Hastings, but he soon acknowledged William the Conqueror as king, and went into exile in Scotland.
