What are facts about King Edgar Atheling?
hi i had 2 do some history home work about that but insted i did this (its not finished yet)Edgar the atheling was the last prince of the old West Saxon (Wessex) royal line when Edward the Confessor died in January 1066. The word atheling means "noble son" and indicated he was of royal blood because he was the son of the king. However, when Edward the Confessor died, Edgar was only about ten years old and was passed over when it came to inheriting the throne which went to Harold Godwinson instead, who went to rule England as King Harold II .He was a member of the Saxon royal family. He and his father had a strong claim to the throne. Edgar's father died in suspicious circumstances in 1054. Despite having the closest blood relation to Edward the Confessor he was too young. He did have the support of some nobles. Edgar Atheling was the only legitimate heir and claimant to the English throne (he was the great-nephew of King Edward the Confessor). By legal rights, Edgar was the only person who could be considered as the successor (and he was declared as by the Witan after Harold's death). Unfortunately, he was only 14 years of age in 1066. He was unable to repel William of Normandy's invasion of England and was forced to submit. He attempted, in 1069, to win the throne with Scottish and Danish support.After William's death Edgar joined Malcolm in raiding England in 1091, but after that he seems to have been at peace with William II of England. He led the English expedition that in 1097 dethroned Donald III and seated the Atheling's nephew Edgar (1107) on the throne of Scotland. The Atheling went on the crusade of 1099 with Robert II, duke of Normandy, and later fought for Robert against Henry I of England.!

The king of England between 1042-1066?
In 1066 the country of England was conquered by the army of William, Duke of Normandy who established himself as William I, King of England. But William was not the first king of England. The first was Egbert back in 800 AD or so and there had been 24 kings of England from then until William arrived. Remember one of William's soldiers supposedly killed the previous king, King Harold, by shooting him in the eye with an arrow. More information In the year 1066, there were four people who held, or claimed, the title "King of England." Edward the Confessor had been King since 8th June 1042, and he died on 5th January 1066. He was immediately succeeded by Harold Godwinson, a powerful nobleman from the House of Wessex. Harold claimed that Edward the Confessor had promised the Crown to him. William, Duke of Normandy, also claimed that Edward had promised the Crown to him - both claims may be true, it is possible that Edward had made the same promise to both men. In October 1066, William of Normandy invaded England and famously defeated and killed Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings on 14th October 1066. He not only proclaimed himself King, but claimed ownership of all the land in England "by right of conquest." The Wittan, an early forerunner of Parliament, claimed that Edgar the Atheling, a grandson of an earlier English King, should inherit the Crown, but accepted William as King a few weeks after the Battle. William's coronation as King William I, took place on Christmas Day 1066.
