'''Edward''', surnamed the '''''Atheling''''' (meaning ''Exile'') to distinguish him from other contemporaries, was the son of [[Edmund Ironside]] and his wife Ealdgyth.<br>
He was born around 1016 CE, in England

After the invasion and accession of [[Canute the Great]], England was no longer safe for his family, and they were sent overseas for their safety, initially to Sweden, but eventually ending up in Germany.

In exile he married Agatha, a German princess who may have been the daughter of Ludolf, Count of Brunswick. They had two children, Edgar 'Atheling' (who managed to survive the [[Norman Conquest]], made peace with [[William the Conqueror|William]] and seems to have survived until the time of [[Henry I]]), and Margaret, who married [[Malcolm III]] of [[Scotland]], three of whose children became [[Scottish kings]] and a fourth the wife of a king of [[England]]. Margaret was also canonised as a [[saint]], because of her extreme piety and ceaseless efforts to reinforce [[Christianity]] in [[Scotland]].

Edward was recalled to England by [[Edward the Confessor]] (his uncle) and arrived in 1057, but died, in battle, before he could reach the king and be re-established in the line of succession. His death left the English throne somewhat uncertain, in the light of the Confessor's childlessness, and contributed to the seizure of the throne by [[Harold Godwinson]], and the [[Norman Conquest]] to establish the right of [[William the Conqueror|William]], Duke of [[Normandy]] to succeed, as Edward had promised him he would.
