Individual Details
Edgar WESSEX
(943 - 8 Jul 975)
Though Edgar was not a particularly peaceable man, his reign was a peaceful one. The Kingdom of England was well established. Edgar consolidated the political unity achieved by his predecessors. By the end of Edgar's reign, England was sufficiently unified that it was unlikely to regress back to a state of division among rival kingships, as it had to an extent under Eadred's reign.
