How many English kings were named edward?

Answer 1

Since the reign of William the Conqueror in 1066 there have been eight kings of England who were named Edward.

But actually, there were eleven English kings named Edward. The first was Edward the Elder. The second was Edward the Martyr. The Third was Edward the Confessor. Edward I was the fourth, but was called the first because he was the first with that name after the Norman Invasion. Then followed the rest, up to Edward VIII.

Answer 2

There were 8 king Edwards. The list of English Kings ends with Edward the VIII, However, this is only a list from after the Norman Conquest, and there were several pre-Norman Kings who were also called Edward.

Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr and Edward the Confessor. (Edward I was named for the last of these Kings re-establishing the name.) Therefore there were 11 Kings called Edward.

No, no.

There were 7 King Edwards. Edward VIII abdicated the throne before his coronation, so he was never King.

Rubbish, Edward V was never coronated yet he is still considered a king.

Edward VIII was King the second George V died, that's how it works. The only monarchs who's reigns are disputed are those who's succession were also disputed - Jane Grey and Matilda were not considered by their contemporaries as the rightful heirs (Matilda because she was a women, Jane because of Mary I). But Edward VIII abdicated the throne.
