	Born 1004, son of [[King]] [[Aethelred Unraed]] and Emma, sister to Normandy's duke Richard II, Edward was taken to Normandy in 1013 to escape the Danish invasion of England. He was to remain there for a quarter century, and to acquire a familiarity with Normandy, its leaders and their ~~governmental~~ system. In 1036 he returned to England with his brother Alfred, to challenge [[Harold Harefoot]] for the throne. Alfred was captured and killed, Edward escaped back to Normandy. In 1041 he was invited back, as co-ruler with his half-brother (Emma's child by [[Canute_the_Great\|Cnut/Canute)]] [[Hardicanute]], and on his co-ruler's death a year later, he succeeded to the entire kingdom, being ~~crowned~~ on 3 April 1043.

	In January 1045 Edward married Edith of Wessex, daughter to Earl [[Godwin]], a powerful noble. For religious reasons Edward declined to consummate the marriage, meaning Godwin would never get to be grandfather to a prince. Because of his dislike of Edward's pro-Norman sympathies, Earl Godwin spearheaded a ~~goup~~ opposed to Norman ideas. Edward was finally obliged to exile Godwin in 1051, stripping him of his title. A year later, flouting his exile, and by force of arms, Godwin forced the king to restore him. Godwin died in 1053 and his son, [[Harold Godwinson]], took up his cause, and the ~~amassment~~ of greater territorial power, to the despite of the King.
