Edgar the Atheling had several siblings, including his brothers Edward and Edmund. His most notable sibling was Edward the Martyr, who became King of England but was murdered in 978. Edgar’s family was part of the royal line of the Anglo-Saxon kings, and he was the son of Edward the Elder and the grandson of Alfred the Great. The exact number of his siblings can vary in historical records, but these are the most recognized.

Prince Edgar the Ætheling's claim was that he was the closest blood relative to King Edward. In fact, apart from Edgar there were no other male members of the House of Wessex (the royal family) alive in 1066. Edgar was the great-nephew of Edward the Confessor. Harold II may have been descended in the male line from Æthelræd I, King of Wessex (865-871AD) but this has never been proved.
Edgar Ætheling should be considered for the position of king due to his royal lineage as the great-nephew of King Edward the Confessor. His bloodline gives him a legitimate claim to the throne and could help maintain stability and continuity in the monarchy. Additionally, Edgar's potential as a unifying figure among the Anglo-Saxon nobility could help prevent further conflicts and power struggles within the realm.
