Eadwig

Eadwig (c. 940–959), called All-Fair, was the elder son of King Edmund I and became king of England in November 955 after his uncle Eadred died. Crowned in January 956, he soon quarrelled with Dunstan, Abbot of Glastonbury, and drove him into exile in Flanders.

In 957 his brother Edgar was made king north of the Thames, leaving Eadwig with only Wessex and the south. In 958 his marriage to Ælfgifu was annulled because they were too closely related. Eadwig died on 1 October 959, aged about nineteen, and Edgar reunited the kingdom.
