From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection.
Edward the Elder (899-924), King of Wessex was the son of Alfred the Great. It was under him that the Anglo-Saxons initiated their reconquest of the Danelaw. He incorporated East Anglia, and in 918, united the crowns of Mercia and Wessex into the nucleus of the future Kingdom of England. Edward is remembered as valiant king and warrior with little interest in the scholarly pursuits of his father.
