Edward the Confessor, one of the last kings of AngloSaxon England, is in part a figure of myths created in the later medieval period. David Woodman traces the course of his 24yearlong reign through the lens of contemporary sources, from the AngloSaxon Chronicle and the Vita dwardi Regis to the Bayeux Tapestry, to uncover the fraught and complex politics of his life. Edward was a shrewd politician who, having endured a long period of exile from England in his youth, ascended the throne in 1042 and came to control a highly sophisticated administration. Such was his power in the mideleventh century that the late AngloSaxon coinage from his reign is the only example in western Europe of a royal monopoly across such a large area.What we know as 'England' had only relatively recently come into being and Woodman constructs a portrait of an age by untangling the truth from the saintly legend and shows how the events of Edward's reign led, through many twists and turns, to the Norman Conquest.
