After Sweyn's succeeding son Cnut died, the House of Wessex resumed when Edward returned to England in 1042 after more than 30 years of exile and reigned there for the remainder of his life.[2]
In 1065, he rebuilt the Westminster Abbey, previously a Saxon church, with Romanesque architecture.[3] Within the abbey, he built the church of St. Margaret, which became one of the oldest churches in England.[4]
