Why Edgar aethling should not be king?

His youth and inexperience made him vulnerable to manipulation by powerful nobles, undermining his authority. Additionally, his claim was contested by stronger contenders, such as William the Conqueror, who had both military backing and a proven track record. These factors contributed to doubts about his ability to effectively lead the nation.
