Jane Seymour was the mother of King Edward VI. She died in childbirth. She was the third wife of Henry VIII.
St. Edward the Martyr,King of the English (AD 962-978)Edward was the eldest son of King Edgar the Peacemaker by his first wife, the beautiful Ethelflaeda Eneda (White-Duck).
Edward the Confessor and Harold Godwinsson were related by the fact that they were cousins. Harold did not win the competition to become king but being Edward's cousin it was one of his advantages to be king. William the illegitimate son won.
Harold did have a sister and she was edward the confessors wife.
Harald Hardrada was not actually blood- related to King Edward the Confessor. instead he was related to a previous king of England by the name of King Canute. apparently it was said that on King Edward's death bed, Edward promised to him that he would be able to take care of his wife and of his kingdom. This was not true as this conversation was only had with, William the Conqueror, who was in fact related to the wife of King Edward. (This was his sister.) As the truth was not found out until a later date, they decided that they would find a king in a fair way. This was called a joust or a fight which William of Normandy (now William the Conqueror) won. This was how they found their king. Overall, this means that... No, Mr Harald Hardrada was not blood related to Mr Edward the Confessor.
