Did Edgar atheling have forces

Answer 1

Yes, Edgar Atheling did have forces, albeit limited. After the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066, Edgar was proclaimed king by some English nobles, but he lacked a strong military backing. His claim was supported primarily by supporters from the north and some of the English nobility, but he faced significant challenges from William the Conqueror and other claimants to the throne. Ultimately, his forces were insufficient to secure the throne, and he became a figure of little political power following the Norman Conquest.
