	EZGeography - Edward the Exile
		Edward the Exile (1016- Febuary 1057), son of King Edmund Ironside and of Ealdgyth, gained the name of "Exile" from his life spent mostly far from the England of his forefathers.
		However, Edward the Exile died shortly after his return, causing a succession dispute that ultimately led to the Norman Conquest of England.
		The paternity of his wife Agatha is debated: the medieval sources agree that she was a sister of Hungarian Queen, and disagree as to other details.

	Exile
		Exile in everyday use invokes images of individual political dissidents sent overseas or large groups of people banished to distant lands, forming various diasporas.
		As Edward Said stresses, exile can be both "actual" and "metaphoric," "voluntary" or "involuntary." (39) This last point is important because it indicates that physical violence is not the only force to cause exile, but subtler forms of compulsion can do the same as well.
		Exile, according to Said in Representations of the Intellectual, is fundamentally tied to the notion of the intellectual.

		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.
		With reinforcements from the earls of Mercia and Northumberland, Edward banished Godwin from the country and sent Queen Edith from court.
		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.

		The king Ethelred the Unready, Edward and his brother Alfred were taken to Normandy by their mother Emma of Normandy, sister of Normandys duke Richard II of Normandy, to escape the Denmark invasion of England in 1013.
		Edwards sympathies for Norman favourites frustrated Saxon and Danish nobles alike, fuelling the growth of anti-Norman opinion led by Godwin, Earl of Wessex, Earl of Wessex, who had become the kings father-in-law in 1045.
		Edward was known as the last English King, but it should be noted that English (or Englisc) at the time meant descended from the Anglo-Saxons, not native to England.

		Edward bridled at the restrictions, and Lancaster's faction rebelled.
		Edward and Gaveston were ill-prepared for the rebellion, and after being besieged in his castle, Gaveston quickly surrendered, assuming he would be treated favorably by the Earl of Pembroke.
		Edward's love for Gaveston certainly defied conventional boundaries, but it is hard to pinpoint whether Edward's ultimate transgression was simply loving one man too much, thereby unsettling the delicate balance of patronage, or was a violation of sexual boundaries as well.

	Harold Godwinson - Cunnan
		When Edward's nephew (also an Edward) was located in Hungary (he was in exile ever since the time of Canute), he was recalled, arriving back in 1057, as a possible counter-weight to Harold's vaulting ambitions.
		He left a four-year-old son, Edgar, but Edward was compelled to declare that, were he to die before Edgar was of age, Harold Godwinson should be his regent.
		At about the same time, King Edward had sent Harold as his envoy to Normandy, and to its duke, William, to whom Edward had promised the English throne some 10 years earlier, impressed by the Norman skill of government.

	Godwins
		Hagiographers, arguing for Edward's sainthood, claim the marriage was never consumated, that the relationship was that of a father and daughter.
		Edward had lost much of the support of Leofric and Siward, and knuckled under — the Godwins were restored to their old privileges and lands, and Edith was released from the nunnery.
		William claimed Edward had promised him the kingship; he was not of the line of Cerdic, the royal House of England - his only claim by blood was that the dead king’s mother, Emma of Normandy, was his great-aunt.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Edward II
		Edward is forced to agree to this and banishes Gaveston to Ireland, but Isabella, who still hopes for his favour, persuades Mortimer to argue for his recall, though only so that he may be more conveniently murdered.
		Edward now seeks comfort in a new favourite, Spencer, and his father, decisively alienating Isabella, who takes Mortimer as her lover and travels to France with her son in search of allies.
		Edward, both in the play and in history, is nothing like the soldier his father was—it was during his reign that the English army was disastrously defeated at Bannockburn—and is soon outgeneralled, while his brother Edmund, Earl of Kent, who, after having initially renounced his cause, now tries to help him, is executed by Mortimer.
