Synopsis "Edward the Elder"

Edward the Elder (Old English: adweard se Ieldra) (c. 870 17 July 924) was an English king. He became king in 899 upon the death of his father, Alfred the Great. His court was at Winchester, previously the capital of Wessex. He captured the eastern Midlands and East Anglia from the Danes in 917 and became ruler of Mercia in 918 upon the death of thelfld, his sister. All but two of his charters give his title as "king of the Anglo-Saxons" (Anglorum Saxonum rex). He was the second king of the Anglo-Saxons as this title was created by Alfred. Edward's coinage reads "EADVVEARD REX." The chroniclers record that all England "accepted Edward as lord" in 920. But the fact that York continued to produce its own coinage suggests that Edward's authority was not accepted in Northumbria. Edward's eponym "the Elder" was first used in Wulfstan's Life of St thelwold (tenth century) to distinguish him from the later King Edward the Martyr.
