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.

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.!
