Edward the Confessor

King Edward of England, more commonly known as Edward the Confessor, was the penultimate Anglo-Saxon king of England and the fourteenth king of England. He was crowned king of England after his half-brother Harthacnut died without any children. His death gave way to his brother-in-law Harold Godwinson taking the crown, which later turned into a succession crisis over the crown of England between Godwinson, William the Conqueror, and Harald Hardrada.
