Edgar, his legitimate son.
The main characters in the play are King Lear and his three daughters. The Earl of Gloucester is also moderately important as he shares similar dilemmas as Lear. (both were betrayed by their family. Lear by Goneril and Regan, Gloucester by Edmund, one of his sons)
Just to be clear, King Lear is a play. It was meant to be watched, not read as a book. In the play, Gloucester is a kindly old buffer who loves his sons and is loyal to his king. Edmund, his illegitimate son, is an embittered, cynical, unscrupulous social climber.
William Shakespeare wrote the play King Lear.
King Lear is the Shakespeare play that the character Regan is in. King Lear was written between 1603 and 1606. In the play Regan is the second daughter of King Lear.
Basically everyone dies in King Lear. King Lear, all three of his daughters (Regan, Goneril, Cordelia) die. Edmund and his father Gloucester die, too. It is unknown whether Kent (Lear's faithful servant) also dies in the end because some think his last line suggests his intention of suicide. Regan's husband Cornwall dies, as well as Goneril's servant Oswald. Practically, everyone but Edgar & Albany died!
I believe there are 8 deaths in the play: Goneril, Regan, Edmund, Gloucester, Cornwall, his soldier, King Lear and Cordelia
