Son of Alfred The Great, Edward The Elder is one of the great kings in English history. This is a page dedicated to him and shining a light on his brilliance with a combination of facts and humour
King Egbert of Wessex was a great-grandfather of Edward The Elder and a fine ruler in is own right. Reigning for 37 years, a notably long period for the 9th century, Egbert's reign saw him take on the Vikings against whom he suffered defeat in battle before bouncing back and inflicted revenge.
