Edmund I

Edmund I (921-946), Saxon King of the English (939-946), the son of King Edward the Elder. He participated in the Battle of Brunanburh in 937 and succeeded his half-brother Athelstan as king in 939. The following year Olaf Godfreyson, a Viking ruler of Dublin, seized the territory of Northumbria in northern England and extended his rule as far south as Leicester. After Olaf's death in 941, Edmund made war on the Vikings, expelling them from the country three years later. In 945 Edmund occupied the kingdom of Strathclyde, west of Northumbria, and turned it over to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, King of Scotland. The following year Edmund was stabbed to death by a robber and was succeeded by his brother Eadred. Edmund was known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the blood feud.
