 Anglo-Saxons.net : Edmund
Edmund fought beside his half-brother Æthelstan at Brunanburh in 937; it was Olaf Guthfrithson, the Norse king who fought against them at Brunanburh, who took back York before the end of 939, apparently without opposition, and raided into the midlands in 940.
In 946, Edmund sent a mission to Francia to negotiate for the restoration of Louis, who had been fostered at Æthelstan's court, but was killed before anything could come of it; his successor Eadred had his hands full with yet another Northumbrian revolt and is not known to have pursued the matter.
Edmund was not as single-mindedly behind the monastic reform movement as his son Edgar would prove to be, but Dunstan's introduction of the Benedictine Rule at Glastonbury was an important step towards the reforms later in the century.
