EDMUND ÆTHELING,
the nephew and next of kin of the English king Edward the Confessor. Edmund was exiled to Europe in 1016, during the reign of the Danish king Cnut. He married Agatha, daughter of Stephen I, King of Hungary and Saint. Their children were Edgar, Margaret, and Christina. He returned to England and died under mysterious circumstances in 1057.
Spent much of his life in Hungary, returned to England in 1057 only to die.
If he had lived, probably would have been the undisputed ruler of England & thus his son, the last Prince of Wessex, was still a minor when he died.
