Edward the Martyr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edward's accession to the throne was contested by a party headed by his stepmother, Queen Elfrida, who wished her son, Ethelred to become king instead.

Britannia: Monarchs of Britain These two departments operated within the king's authority but independently from his personal rule, prompting Edward to follow the practice of earlier kings in developing the Household, a mobile court of clerks and advisers that traveled with the king. Edward's character found accurate evaluation by Sir Richard Baker, in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: He had in him the two wisdoms, not often found in any, single; both together, seldom or never: an ability of judgement in himself, and a readiness to hear the judgement of others. Edward held to the concept of community, and although at times unscrupulously aggressive, ruled with the general welfare of his subjects in mind. www.britannia.com /history/monarchs/mon30.html   (1059 words)

Edward III. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Edward, who had gone to Scotland on an unsuccessful expedition in 1327, resented the terms of the Treaty of Northampton (1328), by which he had renounced the Scottish throne, and decided to support Edward de Baliol against the young Scottish king David II. Edward’s assumption of the title of king of France in 1340, based on a claim through his mother, which was first advanced in 1328, was an immediate provocation. By this time Edward was under the influence of his greedy mistress, Alice Perrers, and the political scene became one of rivalry between the court party headed by John of Gaunt and the clerical party led by the Black Prince. www.bartleby.com /65/ed/Edward3.html   (870 words)

Anglo-Saxons.net : Edward the Elder Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons (899-924), was probably born in the 870s (he was the second child of a marriage of 868, and led troops in battle in 893). Edward kept the English army stationed on the south side of the Severn estuary, and it was just as well because the Vikings twice broke their oaths and stole ashore. Edward, having just conquered the Danes south of the Humber, is unlikely to have worried about the unrest of the English Mercians, and it is plausible that the rearrangement of the Mercian shires closely followed Edward's assertion of direct control over Mercia in 918. www.anglo-saxons.net /hwaet?do=get&type=person&id=EdwardtheElder   (4155 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edward the Confessor Edward was the first King of England to touch for the "king's evil", many sufferers from the disease were cured by him. Early misfortune thus taught Edward the folly of ambition, and he grew up in innocence, delighting chiefly in assisting at Mass and the church offices, and in association with religious, whilst not disdaining the pleasures of the chase, or recreations suited to his station. Such was the contentment caused by "the good St. Edward's laws", that their enactment was repeatedly demanded by later generations, when they felt themselves oppressed. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05322a.htm   (541 words)

Tudor Monarchs: King Edward VI Edward was raised a Protestant, even as Mary had been raised a Catholic, and there is no reason to doubt he held his faith as deeply. Edward, the elder brother who became duke of Somerset in 1547, was closer to Henry than Thomas and adept at handling his mercurial monarch. When she argued for Henry to reinstate his daughter Mary, the king replied that she would do well to think of herself and the children they would have; Jane replied, with typical tact and submissiveness, that she was thinking only of the king's happiness. www.englishhistory.net /tudor/monarchs/edward6.html   (9992 words)

Edward II. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Edward tried to renew his father’s campaigns against Scotland, but his forces were routed by Robert I at Bannockburn in 1314. Edward’s reliance on Gaveston, both as intimate and adviser, to the exclusion of the baronial council, provoked a crisis. Lancaster was supplanted (1318) by a moderate group of barons under Aymer de Valence, earl of Pembroke, who conciliated the king and maintained a relatively stable government until 1321. www.bartleby.com /65/ed/Edward2.html   (510 words)

History of the Monarchy > The Anglo-Saxon kings > Edward III Edward subsequently formed a closer alliance with Godwin's son Harold, who led the army as the king's deputy (he defeated a Welsh incursion in 1055) and whom Edward may have named as heir on his deathbed. With few rivals (Canute's line was extinct and Edward's only male relatives were two nephews in exile), Edward was undisputed king; the threat of usurpation by the King of Norway rallied the English and Danes in allegiance to Edward. Taxation was comparatively light, as Edward was not an extravagant king and lived off the revenues of his own lands (approximately £5,500 a year) - nor did he have to pay for expensive military campaigns. www.royal.gov.uk /output/Page40.asp   (325 words)

Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln Edward King was born in 1829, son of a clergyman. It is ironic that King appears in reference works chiefly as the defendent in the Lincoln Trial, since most of those who knew him would have regarded this as a brief and peripheral episode in a life devoted chiefly to preaching and exemplifying the Good News of the Kingdom of God. King transformed the school, and the lives of those attending it, not so much by the content of his speeches as by his own life and personality. justus.anglican.org /resources/bio/118.html   (1222 words)

Edward had been easing the Admiral out of his life and when the Admiral tried for a late-night visit (armed with a pistol of all things) he shot the King's small dog. The Prince favorite companion seems to have been Barnaby Fitzpatick, a cousin of the Earl of Ormonde (when Edward became King Barnaby was appointed to the unenviable port of royal whipping boy, which meant that he had to suffer the punishments that their governors would not dare to administer to the Lord´s Anointed, their sovereign). www.tudorplace.com.ar /aboutEdward.htm   (1348 words)
