Eadwig

In 959 Eadwig died, and Eadgar became king south of the Thames.

King Eadwig declares that a certain church-ward of Exeter is free and fare-worthy.

Soon after the accession of Eadwig, in 956, Dunstan incurred the wrath of a powerful enemy.

The great men were wroth at this slight on themselves and on the kingly office, and sent Dunstan to bring Eadwig back to the hall.

While he was there, the people of the north revolted from Eadwig, and chose his younger brother Eadgar as king.
