In 899 Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, died leaving his son Edward the Elder as ruler of Britain south of the River Thames and his daughter Æthelflæd and son-in-law Æthelred ruling the western, English part of Mercia.

Æthelred was only about 10 ( no more than 13 ) when his half-brother Edward was murdered.

Æthelred was not personally suspected of participation, but as the murder was committed at Corfe Castle by the attendants of Ælfthryth, it made it more difficult for the new king to rally the nation against the military raids by Danes, especially as the legend of St Edward the Martyr grew.

Æthelred and Emma's two sons, Edward and Alfred, went into exile in Normandy while their mother, Emma, became Cnut's second wife.

Meanwhile another contender for the throne had emerged – Edward the Exile, son of Edmund Ironside and a grandson of Æthelred II, returned to England in 1057, and although he died shortly after his return, he brought with him his family, which included two daughters, Margaret and Christina, and a son, Edgar the Ætheling.

When Æthelflæd died in 918, Ælfwynn, her daughter by Æthelred, succeeded as ' Second Lady of the Mercians ', but within six months Edward had deprived her of all authority in Mercia and taken her into Wessex.

Edward the Confessor, (; ; 1003 – 05 to 4 or 5 January 1066 ), son of Æthelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy, was one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings of England and is usually regarded as the last king of the House of Wessex, ruling from 1042 to 1066.

Edward the Confessor was the seventh son of Æthelred the Unready, and the first by his second wife Emma, sister of Richard, Duke of Normandy.

Following Sweyn's seizure of the throne in 1013, Emma fled to Normandy, followed by Edward and Alfred, and then by Æthelred.

Æthelred agreed, sending Edward back with his ambassadors.

However, in his early years Edward restored the traditional strong monarchy, showing himself, in Frank Barlow's view, " a vigorous and ambitious man, a true son of the impetuous Æthelred and the formidable Emma.

In 1041 he invited his half-brother Edward the Confessor ( his mother Emma's son by Æthelred the Unready ) back from exile in Normandy and probably made him his heir.

Æthelweard describes himself as the " grandson's grandson " of King Æthelred I. Eadwig was the son of King Edmund the Magnificent, grandson of King Edward the Elder, great-grandson of King Alfred the Great, and therefore great-great-nephew of King Æthelred I. Eadwig and Ælfgifu were therefore third cousins once removed.

A number of lives of Edward were written in the centuries following his death in which he was portrayed as a martyr, generally seen as a victim of the Queen Dowager Ælfthryth, mother of Æthelred.

A genealogy created at Glastonbury Abbey circa 969 gives Edward precedence over Edmund and Æthelred.

Edgar's plans for the succession can only be conjecture as he died as a young man aged about 32, on 8 July 975, leaving surviving sons Edward and Æthelred, neither yet an adult.

These leaders were divided as to whether Edward or Æthelred should succeed Edgar.

The Queen Dowager certainly supported the claims of her son Æthelred, aided by Bishop Æthelwold ; and Dunstan supported Edward, aided by his fellow archbishop Oswald.

It is likely that Ealdorman Ælfhere and his allies supported Æthelred and that Æthelwine and his allies supported Edward, although some historians suggest the opposite.

The version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which contains the most detailed account, records that Edward was murdered, probably at or near the mound on which the ruins of Corfe Castle now stand, in the evening of 18 March 978, while visiting Ælfthryth and Æthelred.

It is sometimes portrayed as a popular movement, or as the product of a political attack on King Æthelred by former supporters of Edward.
