The King Who Never Was: A Royal Disappearance

This episode explores the life of Edgar Ætheling, the last male heir of the House of Cerdic, who was chosen as king but never crowned. It delves into how a man born to the English throne spent seventy years surviving everything, yet never came close to claiming what was his.

Person: Edgar Ætheling
Date: December 1066
Event: Election as King of England
Dynasty: House of Cerdic

- Edgar Ætheling was 14 years old when chosen as king by the Archbishop of York and London citizens.
- His grandfather, Edward the Exile, survived a plot by King Cnut and grew up in the Hungarian court.
- King Edward the Confessor summoned Edward the Exile and his family, including young Edgar, back to England in 1057.
- Edward the Exile died almost immediately upon landing in England, leaving Edgar an orphan at approximately five years old.
- After King Edward the Confessor's death and Harold Godwinson's brief reign, Edgar was again elected king but submitted to William the Conqueror without a fight.
