Discover King Edmund I the Magnificent
King Edmund I 'the magnificent' was the elder son of Edward the Elder and his third wife, Edgiva, and king of England from 939-946. Inheriting the expanded realm of England, Edmund initially lost York and Cumbria from the Norse and Scots, but through peace negotiations, baptisms and military skill, he won them back again. Edmund's reign was short, as he was killed in his own hall by an outlaw at the age of 25.
