Edmund had two children by Ealdgyth, Edward the Exile and Edmund.

According to John of Worcester, Cnut sent them to the king of Sweden to be murdered, but the king instead sent them to Hungary, where Edmund died but Edward prospered.

He returned to England in 1057 only to die within days of his arrival.

His son Edgar the Ætheling was briefly proclaimed king after the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but submitted to William the Conqueror.
