 THE FAIR EDWY (EADwIG) - LoveToKnow Article on THE FAIR EDWY (EADwIG)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Edwy naturally resented this interference, and in 957 Dunstan was driven into exile.
Edwy, to judge from the disproportionately large numbers of charters issued during his reign, seems to have been weakly lavish in the granting of privileges, and soon the chief men of Mercia and Northumbria were disgusted by his partiality for Wessex.
It is probable that no actual conflict took place, and in 959, on Edwys death, Edgar acceded peaceably to the combined kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria.

Edwy advanced to meet him but was defeated at Gloucester and obliged to flee for his life.
To Edwy was allotted the southern portion, and to Edgar the northern.
Osbern's story to the effect that Edwy engaged in a general persecution of the monks may, however, be safely rejected, as the revolt against him was not concerned with the dispute between the regulars and seculars which began only after Edwy's death.

Edwy succeeded to the kingdom of the West- Saxons, and Edgar his brother succeeded to the kingdom of the Mercians: and they were the sons of King Edmund and of S. Elfgiva

 'Hate-filled' Book Rocks Le Monde
Stung by a vicious attack on his newspaper's independence, honesty and financial standing, Le Monde's editor said yesterday that France's most influential daily would sue the authors of a book which has caused turmoil in the national media.
Edwy Plenel took up a page of the sedate, afternoon paper to reply to a book called The Hidden Face of Le Monde, published secretly in Spain, in which two investigative journalists painted a sinister portrait of a media monument that has been the country's top journal of record for nearly 60 years.
Some extracts appeared in the weekly, L'Express, whose chief executive, Denis Jeambar, said that behind Le Monde's idealistic mask was "cynicism, denunciation, psychological pressure, abuse of position and autocracy".
