	Britannia: Monarchs of Britain
		Edward held to the concept of community, and although at times unscrupulously aggressive, ruled with the general welfare of his subjects in mind.
		Edward found limited success in extending English influence into Ireland: he introduced a Parliament in Dublin and increased commerce in a few coastal towns, but most of the country was controlled by independent barons or Celtic tribal chieftains.
		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.

	Tudor Monarchs: King Edward VI
		Edward became king at the age of 10, but he was a mere figurehead.
		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.

		Edward's natural inclination to favor the Normans in England—notably Robert of Jumièges, whom he made archbishop of Canterbury in 1051—led to a breach with Godwin.
		Edward, however, was supported by Leofric of Mercia and Siward of Northumbria, and he outlawed and banished Godwin and his family.
		Shortly before his death, Edward named Harold, son of Godwin, as his successor, possibly in the hope of averting the threat of war posed by the rival claims to the throne of William of Normandy and Harold III of Norway.

		Edward's brother-in-law Eustace, the count of Boulougne in France, was going home from the English court when his men got into a fight with the townsfolk at Dover.
		Edward was angry at the insult to his relative, and ordered Godwine to take a punitive expedition to Dover, which was in his earldom.
		In the winter of 1065, as King Edward, now old and concerned only to finish his abbey at Westminster, approached death, there was no one in England to stop Harold from claiming the crown.

	King Edward VIII
		The coverage of the tour was highly sympathetic to the King: it followed him as he walked among the poor, visited their homes, mixed mortar at their instruction, doffed his hat and nodded his head, and showed his evident distress at their sufferings.
		After demobilization, Edward took an active interest in the work of Toc H, an organization that was set up to provide a refuge for veterans of all ranks of men and officers, and the British Legion, which was founded in 1921 to cater for their welfare.
		In 1936 Edward was forty-two, whereas Baldwin was sixty-nine and Chamberlain sixty-seven.

	King Edward VI's Defence of Astronomy
		Edward, son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, became King at the age of nine upon his father's death in January 1547.
		Thus Edward is able to prove that astronomy benefits the mind - since spiritual advantage may come from knowledge of astronomy, - the body - though astrology - and the State - as farmers and merchants make use of astronomical knowledge.
		Edward had been ill with something spotty (he says measles and smallpox in his journal) a few months earlier, but had recovered and gone on a long progress around the south of his country.

		The main base (British Antarctic Survey Research Station) and seat of the Marine Officer to whom local government is delegated is King Edward Point, at Cumberland East Bay, near the island's "capital" and former Norwegian whaling station of Grytviken, with a maximum accommodation of 18 persons (the winter population is 8 on the average).
		There is a second base, biological research station Bird Island, at Jordan Cove on the Bird Island 4 km off the western tip of the main island, which can accommodate up to 8 persons but is not continuously occupied.
		The research station at King Edward Point, near the former Norwegian whaling station of Grytviken, originally established up in 1949/1950 by the British Antarctic Survey (until 1962 called Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey), became a small military garrison after the Falklands War.

	20th Century History of South Georgia, South Atlantic Ocean
		Reaching King Haakon Bay on the south coast of South Georgia, Shackleton, Crean and Worsley traversed the unmapped glaciers and mountains of the island to reach Stromness - the first ever crossing of South Georgia.
		He later went on to rescue all the men who had been left at King Haakon Bay and Elephant Island, and it is a credit to Shackleton's leadership that not a single man was lost on the expedition.
		In the 1962-63 season, a large hospital and residential building, Shackleton House, was built at King Edward Point, but today there are no scientists working at the station: all are located in field camps or at Bird Island, to the extreme north.
