About 1003 Edward the Confessor (c. 1003 - 5 January 1066), son of Aethelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy, was one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings of the English and is usually regarded as the last of the House of Wesses, ruling from 1042 to 1066 (technically the last being Edgar the Aetheling who was proclaimed king briefly in late 1066, but was deposed after about eight weeks.) His reign marked the continuing disintegration of royal power in England and the advancement in power of the earls.
