Edward the Confessor
This article is about the King of England from 1042 to 166. For other uses, see Edward (disambiguation).
Edward the Confessor (Old English: Ēadpeard Andettere; Latin: Edwardus Confessor; c. 1003 – 1066) was among the last Anglo-Saxon Kings of England who reigned from 1042 to 1066.
Biography
He fled England in 1014 with his father, Æthelred the Unready due to his usurping by Sweyn Forkbeard. After the death of Sweyn's succeeding son Cnut the Great, the Wessex dynasty would later continue when he returned to England in 1042 after more than 30 years of exile, and reigned there for the remainder of his life.[1]
In 1065, he rebuilt the Westminster Abbey, previously a Saxon church, with Romanesque architecture.[2] Within the abbey, he built the church of St. Margaret, which became one of the oldest churches in England.[3]
