The Life and Times of
The Life and Times of Edward the Elder (c874-924 AD), King of the Anglo-Saxons, son of King Alfred the Great and Conqueror of the Danes.
Edward's reign was arguably equally as important as his more illustrious father's with Edward building on the successes of Alfred and ultimately driving the Danes to submission (with the help of his sister Æthelflæd), ruling all of England south of the River Humber.
Edward's reign was far from smooth sailing, having to see off a challenge to his throne early on and having to manage the predations of the Danes and Norse invaders. This video charts the life and campaigns of Edward the Elder, warrior-king and forger of England.
