How did the first king of England become king?

User Avatar

Asked by Jacinthe Jakubowski

The first King of England was Aethelstan who was the grandson of Alfred the Great. In 924/5 Aethelstan became king of Wessex (or king of the west saxons) after the death of his father Edward, upon the death of AEthelflaed (Aethelstan's aunt) Aethelstan assumed control over the kingdom of Mercia. This united all the kingdoms south of the river Humber under one King.

Aethelstan married his sister to a viking king of Northumbria (north of the river humber) in 927 the viking king died and Aethelstan avanced his army into Northumbria and captured the city of York. In 937 the Battle of Brunanburh took place between Aethelstan with his brother Edmund against the Scots and the Irish vikings in which Aethelstan was victorious, resulting in him becoming king of Northumbria and thus uniting it with the south creating England. Aethelstan's reign over a united England was short as he died in 939.

Is the Tao god?

User Avatar

Asked by Rosamond Weber

Many Taoists do worship Gods, most of them being Chinese folk Gods. It's important to understand that in China, people do not simply practice one religion but practice several intermingled together. Honestly to get a satisfactory answer you may have to discern which tradition of Taoism you speak of, because practiced Taoism has many different flavors. Looking at the Tao te Ching itself, there isn't necessarily a 'God' that is worshiped. Tao itself can be said to be similar to a God, but there's a few key differences from your standard deity including an impersonality in regards to the human race, with humans just another facet of existence and not anything held up on a pedestal. It's more of the underlying reality and patterns of nature than it is any type of personification humans can relate to like most deities tend to be.
