	Britannia: Monarchs of Britain
		On the death of Eadred, who had no children, Eadwig was chosen to be king since he was the oldest of the children in the natural line of the House of Wessex.
		Historians have not treated Eadwig especially well, and it is unfortunate for him that he ran afoul of the influential Bishop Dunstan (friend and advisor to the recently deceased king, Eadred, future Archbishop of Canterbury and future saint), early in his reign.
		Eadwig went on to marry Ælgifu, the girl with whom he was keeping company at the time of Dunstan's intrusion.

	Anglo-Saxons.net : Eadwig All-Fair
		Eadwig started his reign by asserting his independence from the important counsellors of his uncle's and father's reigns.
		Eadwig's marriage to Ælfgifu might alarm Edgar still more, much as Æthelwulf's marriage to Judith probably worried Æthelbald a century earlier: a child of the union of two royal parents might be considered more throne-worthy than Edgar himself.
		It was clear that Eadwig retained overall authority: in his charters he remained rex Anglorum, king of the English, while Edgar was styled "king of the Mercians".

		Eadwig was the eldest son of King Eadmund and Ælfgifu, and the nephew of King Eadred, whom he succeeded in 955, when he was little more than 15 years old.
		Eadwig's authority in the north was contested by the Mercians and Northumbrians, who revolted against Eadwig.
		Eadwig continued to govern the region south of the River Thames and died before he was 20.

	Otherworld Fantasies
		Eadwig was the son of Edmund I and succeeded his uncle Eadred in his mid teens.
		The disupte supposedly began with Dunstan finding Eadwig with a woman (and possibly her mother) on the day of his consecration, chasting him and leading him back to the banquet being held in his honour.
		Eadwig died at the age of 20 and was succeeded by his brother Edgar.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Dunstan
		Eadwig, the elder son of Eadmund, who then came to the throne, was a dissolute and headstrong youth, wholly devoted to the reactionary party and entirely under the influence of two unprincipled women.
		Conspiring with the leaders of the West-Saxon party she was soon able to turn his scholars against the abbot and before long induced Eadwig to confiscate all Dunstan's property in her favour.
		In october, 959, Eadwig died and his brother was readily accepted as ruler of the West-Saxon kingdom.

		On the accession in 955 of King Eadwig (Edwy), however, Dunstan's influence and office were temporarily eclipsed.
		He apparently quarrelled with Eadwig and was outlawed, being driven to Flanders.
		In 959 Eadwig died, Edgar became sole king of the English, and Dunstan was appointed archbishop of Canterbury.

	Eadwig
		The roots of their feud were sown on Eadwig's coronation day, when at some point in the proceedings Dunstan and some others noticed that Eadwig was absent.
		Dunstan did not approve of the way Eadwig was conducting himself with the girl, whether because of the actual behaviour or because of Dunstan's Tertullian-like views on women ("women are instruments of the devil"), we don't know.
		Eadwig dies soon afterwards, apparently of shock or heartbreak; in any case, we do know certainly that he died suddenly, leaving the entire kingdom free for Edgar's rule.

	The Hill Giant Chief - Nosnra's Saga Part XIII (Story by Jason Zavoda)
		Eadwig won that first encounter, he knocked the thegn from off his feet and sought to crush his head beneath his broad iron nailed boot.
		Eadwig yowled in pain and fell hard upon his side, but as Nosnra crouched, prepared to rise, Eadwig summoned up more strength from rage, and with his uninjured leg, sent out a kick that caught the chief across the face.
		Eadwig stunned and gushing blood from mouth and swollen eyes, struck back, but his force was spent, the chief now had the upper hand.

	Peace - Eadwig - Edgar
		Eadwig may have been indifferent to Dunstan's efforts to revive English monasticism, but there is no real evidence that he actually opposed it.
		B, St.Dunstan's earliest biographer, says that it was the "northern people" who rejected Eadwig, and that the "famous river Thames" formed the boundary between Edgar and Eadwig's territories (a border confirmed by the witnesses who feature in their charters).
		Eadwig's misgovernment - having replaced wise counsellors with the ignorant (those "like himself") - is, of course, blamed for the split, though other evidence isn't particularly consistent with this.

		Interplanetary Pig Farmer Eadwig Addlethorpe owns a series of magnificent pig farms on a large planetoid in the belt of debris between Mars and Jupiter.

		Eadwig may pick up most of the bricks - though only one block at a time, he's only half human - and deposit them elsewhere to build walkways, stairs, and block passages to redirect pigs to wherever he wants them.

		The date of his consecration might be approximately calculated on presumption that the Wessex regnal list counted the reign of Eadwig from the consecration day.

		However, despite this, he left money in his will to pay the Scandinavians not to attack in the future – an indication that he was prey to the same anxieties as all other 10th-century kings.
		There appears to have been a dispute over the succession, with Eadwig's younger brother Edgar being promoted by various factions among the Mercian and Northumbrian nobility.
		However, there is only definite proof of a Kingston coronation for Athelstan (who received his crown there on 4 September 924) and Ethelred (who got his in 978).

		Although Eadwig drove Dunstan into exile, he evidently did not attempt to halt the monastic revival that the churchman had inspired.
		Eadwig lived only four years after his accession; long enough to acquire an evil reputation in those circles to which we owe record of his reign, not long enough to redeem it by any notable act.
		It is noteworthy that several of the leading associates of his brother, Edgar, had already been promoted under Eadwig; but that Eadwig quarrelled with the greatest of Edgar's colleagues, St Dunstan.

	Anglo-Saxons.net : Edgar the Peacemaker
		Edgar is best known for his elaborate consecration ceremony in 973 and for his active and enthusiastic support of the monastic reform movement.
		It has been argued that Edgar's original consecration was delayed until his thirtieth year in 973, by analogy with the canonical age for becoming a bishop.
		But in 959 it cannot have been certain that Edgar would reach his thirtieth year (his father Edmund died at 25, his brother Eadwig probably younger), and it is unlikely that Edgar or his allies would deliberately avoid a means of strengthening his authority.

		Resentful of such a reproof, Eadwig deprived Dunstan of his property and forced him out of the country, casting uncertainty over the future of England's monastic revival.
		Dunstan found refuge in a monastery in Ghent, where he scarcely had time to observe the reformed type of continental monasticism before he was recalled to England by Eadwig's half-brother Edgar ("the Peaceable", 959-75), who had been elected ruler by the Mercians and Northumbrians.
		Dunstan became successively Bishop of Worcester and London, and, in 960, after Eadwig's death, Archbishop of Canterbury.
