Notes for Edward II “The Martyr”, King of England
Reigned 975-979
He was murdered, reputedly by his step-mother. He was canonised in 1001, and his feast day is 20th November.
Elder son of King Edgar, he succeeded to the throne as a boy of 12, and in so doing, aroused rival claims on behalf of his even younger half-brother, Æthelred II, the Unready. He was murdered by members of Æthelred's household at Corfe Castle in 978.
