  • Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside
    Chapter 16 Wessex and the Reign of Edmund ii Ironside David McDermott Edmund Ironside, the eldest surviving son of Æthelred ii (‘the Unready’), is an often overlooked political figure. This results primarily from the brevity of his reign, which lasted approximately seven months, from 23 April to 30 November 1016. It could also be said that Edmund’s legacy compares unfavourably with those of his forebears. Unlike other Anglo-Saxon Kings of England whose lon- ger reigns and periods of uninterrupted peace gave them opportunities to leg- islate, renovate the currency or reform the Church, Edmund’s brief rule was dominated by the need to quell initial domestic opposition to his rule, and prevent a determined foreign adversary seizing the throne. Edmund conduct- ed his kingship under demanding circumstances and for his resolute, indefati- gable and mostly successful resistance to Cnut, his career deserves to be dis- cussed and his successes acknowledged. Before discussing the importance of Wessex for Edmund Ironside, it is con- structive, at this stage, to clarify what is meant by ‘Wessex’. It is also fitting to use the definition of the region provided by Barbara Yorke. The core shires of Wessex may be reliably regarded as Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berk- shire and Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight).1 Following the victory of the West Saxon King Ecgbert at the battle of Ellendun (Wroughton, Wilts.) in 835, the borders of Wessex expanded, with the counties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex passing from Mercian to West Saxon control.2 Wessex was not the only region with which Edmund was associated, and nor was he the only king from the royal House of Wessex with connections to other regions.

  • Some Kaylor-Smeltzer Genealogy
    Some Kaylor-Smeltzer Genealogy Two years ago, while attempting once more to extend some of the family King William I (the Conqueror) tree, I found some web-based sources that yielded quite unanticipated break- 1028 – 1087 King Henry I (Henry Beauclerc) throughs. The family involved was Estep – my grandmother Cline’s family. 1068 – 1135 Since they were Mennonites, I had fallaciously assumed that this was a Ger- Empress Matilda (Lady of the English) man family and that they had arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1730-1770 pe- 1102 – 1167 King Henry II (Curtmantle) riod – the first wave of German immigration. I was wrong on three fronts: 1133 – 1189 the family was English, had arrived much earlier, and came to Maryland. As King John (John Lackland) of this moment, I have found quite a few ancestors. But quite unexpectedly, 1166 – 1216 I found very similar results with the Smeltzer family: it had intermarried in King Henry III (Henry of Winchester) 1207 – 1272 Maryland with English and that led to many discoveries. I am still progress- King Edward I (Longshanks) ing on this but I have already entered nearly 22,000 names of our direct 1239 – 1307 ancestors – and maybe a hundred children of these direct ancestors. (Every- King Edward II 1284 – 1327 one discussed in this message is a direct ancestor.) In the process, I found King Edward III Vikings and Visigoths, Popes and peasants, people who were sainted and peo- 1312 – 1401 ple who were skinned alive. As an example, at right, I present the descent Duke Edmund of Langley from William “the Conqueror” to our grand-mother.

The line was founded by the second son of Henry III, Edmund Crouchback, 1245–96, who was created earl of Lancaster in 1267. Earlier (1254) the prince had been made titular king of Sicily when the pope offered that crown to Henry III in order to keep Sicily and the Holy Roman Empire separated. However, the English barons refused financial support for the Sicilian wars, and the title was withdrawn (1258). Later Edmund fought for his brother, Edward I, in Wales and Gascony. His nickname "Crouchback," or crossed back, refers only to the fact that he went on crusade to Palestine in 1271 and, hence, was entitled to wear the cross. Edmund's son Thomas, earl of Lancaster, 1277?–1322, led the baronial opposition to his cousin Edward II Edward II, 1284–1327, king of England (1307–27), son of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, called Edward of Carnarvon for his birthplace in Wales.

    Who were the famous Anglo Saxon Kings? Who was Alfred the Great? • https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zxsbcdm/articles/z9tdq6f Edward The Elder Ruled899 – 924 • King Edward was well trained by his father, Alfred the Great. • He was a bold soldier who won large portions of land from the Danes in the east and the north. • Much of his success was thanks to the help of his sister, the mighty Aethelflaed. • Edward set up his court in the city of Winchester and built a fine cathedral there. He was married three times and had at least fourteen children. • Some say he was a great supporter of the Church. Others say he was scolded by the Pope for neglecting his faith. • Edward died as he would have wished - at the head of his army, leading his men into battle against a band of rebels. He was laid to rest in his new cathedral at Winchester. Athelstan Ruled 924 - 939 • Athelstan was a daring soldier who fought many battles. But his greatest triumph was the Battle of Brunanburh, when he was faced with an army of Scots and Welsh and Danes. • After this great victory, he seized control of York - the last of the Viking strongholds. Then he forced the kings of Scotland and Wales to pay him large sums of money. • Athelstan wasn't just a soldier. He worked hard to make his kingdom strong, writing laws and encouraging trade. • Athelstan was buried at Malmesbury. At the time of his death he was recognised as the very first King of All England.

  • St. Edward the Martyr Catholic.Net
    St. Edward the Martyr Catholic.net Edward the Martyr (Old English: Eadweard; c. 962 – 18 March 978) was King of England from 975 until he was murdered in 978. Edward was the eldest son of King Edgar the Peaceful but was not his father's acknowledged heir. On Edgar's death, the leadership of England was contested, with some supporting Edward's claim to be king and others supporting his much younger half-brother Æthelred the Unready, recognized as a legitimate son of Edgar. Edward was chosen as king and was crowned by his main clerical supporters, the archbishops Dunstan and Oswald of Worcester. The great nobles of the kingdom, ealdormen Ælfhere and Æthelwine, quarrelled, and civil war almost broke out. In the so-called anti-monastic reaction, the nobles took advantage of Edward's weakness to dispossess the Benedictine reformed monasteries of lands and other properties that King Edgar had granted to them. Edward's short reign was brought to an end by his murder at Corfe Castle in 978 in circumstances that are not altogether clear. His body was reburied with great ceremony at Shaftesbury Abbey early in 979. In 1001 Edward's remains were moved to a more prominent place in the abbey, probably with the blessing of his half-brother King Æthelred. Edward was already reckoned a saint by this time. A number of lives of Edward were written in the centuries following his death in which he was portrayed as a martyr, generally seen as a victim of the Queen Dowager Ælfthryth, mother of Æthelred.
