    Other Events and Attributes:

    • General Information: Edward was Bretwala, King of Kings. He was also the King of Wessex.
    • Military: From 899 to 902; Alfred died on 26 October 899 and Edward succeeded to the throne, but Æthelwold disputed the succession. He seized the royal estates of Wimborne, symbolically important as the place where his father was buried, and Christchurch, both in Dorset. Edward marched with his army to the nearby Iron Age hillfort at Badbury Rings. Æthelwold declared that he would live or die at Wimborne, but then left in the night and rode to Northumbria, where the Danes accepted him as king. In 901, Æthelwold came with a fleet to Essex, and the following year he persuaded the East Anglian Danes to invade English Mercia and northern Wessex, where his army looted and then returned home. Edward retaliated by ravaging East Anglia, but when he retreated the men of Kent disobeyed the order to retire, and were intercepted by the Danish army. The two sides met at the Battle of the Holme (perhaps Holme in Huntingdonshire) on 13 December 902. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Danes "kept the place of slaughter", meaning that they won the battle, but they suffered heavy losses, including Æthelwold and a King Eohric, possibly of the East Anglian Danes. Kentish losses included Sigehelm, ealdorman of Kent and father of Edward's third wife, Eadgifu. Æthelwold's death ended the threat to Edward's throne.
    • Reign: From 900 to 924; King of England
    • Crowned: 8 Jun 900, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England; He was crowned.
    • Military: 918; Edward defeated the Danes in 918, taking East Anglia. He conquered Mercia the same year, and Northumbria in 920.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Charter/Grant/Gift: About 904; The first contemporary written evidence of Ælfwynn is dated to around 904, a charter recording the lease of land by Æthelred and Æthelflæd for the traditional three lives—those of Æthelred, Æthelflæd and Ælfwynn—in and around Worcester from Bishop Waerferth and the monks and clerics of Worcester Cathedral.
    • Offices Held: From 12 June 918 to Dec 1918; When her mother died on 12 June 918, she became the ruler of Mercia, but only until December. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: Here also the daughter of Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians, was deprived of all control in Mercia, and was led into Wessex three weeks before Christmas. by Edward the Elder. Her accession was the only example of rule passing from one woman to another in the early medieval period in the British Isles.
    • Miscellaneous: 919; There is no certain record of Ælfwynn after her removal from power. In Maggie Bailey's view, she probably entered holy orders. It is possible that she is the religious woman named Ælfwynn who is the beneficiary of charter S 535 dated 948 in the reign of King Eadred. Shashi Jayakumar suggests that she may have been the Ælfwynn who was wife of Æthelstan Half-King and foster-mother of the future King Edgar
