@@nikicavujovic2332 I hate to be pedantic about this Edward the martyr was the king of east anglia not all england. Very good knowledge though! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Left his kingdom in a state of chaos and confusion. The witan had the authority to name the king’s successor. Out of all the English kings, he’s the only one to be cannonized, but he is also responsible in a way for a lot of the bloodshed. It really seemed like he felt he had authority to name a successor, but that wasn’t up to him.
@@ray.shoesmith very good comparison. Harthacnut also ruled pretty harshly and they died the same way… who you think poisoned him? Godwin? Edward? Or some other?
Edward the Confessor, known by this name for his extreme piety. I didn’t mention it because his piety is probably a fabrication made by his wife, because they had no children. The later Norman’s who insisted this pious king chose William to be king did this and named him confessor to legitimise William’s rule more by portraying Edward as a saintly king
Anglo Saxons crush them if not for fighting multiple counties at once vs lil England. First the vikings with all those scantavian countries. Then the Franks and Norman's. Not just William a bunch of other Dukes and soldiers from Frankia.
I agree, if Hardrada didn't defeat the english army at fulford, and the losses the english army took at stamford bridge then harold Godwinsson would have had more men, and more time to gather a bigger fresher army. So odds are the Anglo-Saxons would have won at hastins yes!
Agreed. He was basically a Norman, Edward spent 25 years in the Norman court from the age of 13 or so. He favoured Norman interests instead of the people of his own kingdom. Failed to name anyone as his successor in his rule which lasted decades and hinted to some that they might get it (according to some sources). He was the direct cause of the Norman invasion in my opinion.

@historyprofiles Enjoyed it 100%! Great job.
Is it really Edward the Confessor the only one English king canonized as the Saint? What about Edward the Martyr, for example?

Ah the Confessor's namesake uncle who was indeed a martyr.

Harthacanute aka King Joffrey.

@historyprofiles That Baelish had something to do with it I'm sure!
Where did Edward get the moniker The Confessor from? Its not mentioned anywhere in the video

One of the worst kings of England, made a saint to legitimise later rulers.
Agreed. He was basically a Norman, Edward spent 25 years in the Norman court from the age of 13 or so. He favoured Norman interests instead of the people of his own kingdom.

Interesting,but wayyyy too long.
