Which English king was crowned at Bath Abbey by Saint Dunstan?
Bath Abbey in Bath, Somerset, is where King Edgar the Peaceful was crowned in AD 973. A stained-glass window on the north side of the abbey depicts the coronation, which was devised by Saint Dunstan, and has remained the basis of coronation ceremonies ever since. Dunstan (909-988) was an English bishop who served as the Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, Bishop of Worcester, Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury. Dunstan became famous for the many stories about his dealings with the Devil. Allegedly, Dunstan resisted the Devil’s temptations by holding the Devil’s face between a pair of red-hot tongs. The only evidence of this event are accounts written at least 100 years after Dunstan’s death.
Edgar was the son of King Edmund I and Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury. He came to the throne as a teenager following the death of his older brother, King Eadwig. Saint Dunstan remained Edgar's advisor throughout his reign, which was peaceful with no warfare. Although Edgar's coronation took place in 973, he had been ruling as king since 959. Two years after officially being crowned, Edgar died and was buried at Glastonbury Abbey.
At the time of Edgar's coronation, Bath Abbey was a monastic church, which had been erected in 781 by King Offa of Mercia. As king, Edgar encouraged the monks of the abbey to adopt the 'Rule of Saint Benedict', a book of instruction written in 516 by Benedict of Nursia (c. AD 480–550).

Queen consorts of England and Britain | [4/50] | Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury
Ælfgifu was Queen consort of England from 939 until 944 as the wife of Edmund I. Although it was actually Edmund’s predecessor, Æthelstan, that united all the kingdoms of England, since Æthelstan never married, it was Ælfgifu who became the first Queen consort of England. Ælfgifu’s exact date of birth is unknown and her only known relative is her mother, Wynflaed. The exact date of her marriage to Edmund is not recorded, but it’s believed that they married around 939 since their oldest son, Eadwig, was born around 940. Ælfgifu spent her time as Queen consort being largely overshadowed by her mother-in-law, Eadgifu of Kent. It’s believed that she died in 944, possibly in childbirth with her second son, Edgar. During her life, she was a patron of Shaftesbury Abbey and after her death, she was venerated as a saint. Her feast day is celebrated on 18 May.

Monarch #5
Who: Edgar (Old English: Ēadgār )
Also Known As: Edgar the Peaceful, Edgar the Peaceable
Where: England
Succeeded: His brother, Eadwig
Reigned: 1st October 959 – 8th July 975
Born: 943 or 944, Wessex
Died: 8th July 975 (aged 30/31) in Winchester, England
Buried: Glastonbury Cathedral
Consorts/Children: First married Æthelflæd the White, daughter of Ordmaer, Ealdorman of East Anglia, sometime between 957 and 959. They had one child, Edward, who became king of England.
Following Æthelflæd's death, Edgar carried off (abducted) Wulfthryth of Wilton, who was a nun at the abbey there. After having a child - Eadgyth - Wulfthryth and her daughter returned to Wilton Abbey. Whilst Edgar and Wulfthryth lived as husband and wife, they may not have actually been married.
After Wulfthryth returned to Wilton, Edgar married Ælfthryth, daughter of Ealdorman Ordgar of Devon. They had two children, Edmund Atheling (c.966-c.970) and Æthelred, who became king of England.
Edgar Facts!
Edgar was the younger son of Edmund I and Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, and succeeded his brother as a teenager.
He recalled Archbishop Dunstan, who had been exiled, and made him his most trusted advisor.
The basis for the current coronation ceremony in the UK is based on the organisation and forms that Dunstan used at Edgar’s coronation.
By the end of Edgar’s reign, England was seen as a truly unified country.
Edgar’s reign was “far more than the reigns of either Alfred or Æthelstan, was probably the most pivotal phase in the development of the institutional structures that were fundamental to royal rule in the eleventh-century kingdom"[1]. His laws were the foundation for later Saxon and Scandinavian rule - Cnut states in a letter that “it is my will that all the nation, ecclesiastical and lay, shall steadfastly observe Edgar's laws”.[2]
He was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward.
Unfortunately, little is known of Æthelflæd the White, but we have information about Edgar’s other wives.
Wulfthryth (also known as Wilfrida) of Wilton Facts!
An English noblewoman (whose parentage is nevertheless unmentioned) apparently living a saintly and blameless life before Edgar decided she should live with him. Dunstan made him do penance for the crime (not being allowed to wear a crown for seven years and giving Wulfthryth several estates (which she gave to the Abbey). She was noted as being carried off, but never as a captive. The crime for which the king did penance was violation of the sanctity of her oaths as a nun, rather than any sort of affront he may have done Wulfthryth. Of course, no account details how the lady herself may or may not have felt about the situation. Edgar acknowledged their daughter, Edith, as his which means that the relationship may very well have been considered a marriage, since the church’s blessing of a marriage at the time wasn’t strictly necessary. She returned to Wilton after a year or so and eventually became Abbess.
It is certain that Wulfthryth had influence over Edgar after she returned to Wilton. With his support she was able to stop bailiffs arresting a thief who had taken sanctuary in her Abbey and had two of Wilton’s priests released from prison on the orders of the reeve of Wilton.
Wulfthryth was canonised as a saint following her death (c.1000) and her feast day is September 13th.
Her and Edgar’s daughter, Eadgyth (also known has Edith, Editha and Ediva), born c.963, went to Wilton Abbey when her mother returned there, and was also canonised after her death in 984 (her feast day is September 16th). She is said to have always been dressed magnificently, and was rebuked by the Bishop of Winchester over it. She said she answered to the judgement of God, who was the only one who could see through outward appearance, and was the only one who was infallible, adding "For pride may exist under the garb of wretchedness; and a mind may be as pure under these vestments as under your tattered furs"[3]. The Bishop of Winchester really had no great influence over her appearance or opinion anyway, as Dunstan supported her and made her Abbess of three abbeys when she was only thirteen (deputies were appointed for her). It is said that a week after she died, Edith appeared in glory to her mother and told her that the Devil had tried to accuse her, but that she had broken his head. Which is definitely one way to deal with Satan.
Ælfthryth Facts!
Also known as Alfrida, Elfrida, or Elfthryth, she married Edgar after Wulfthryth returned to Wilton.
She was the first wife of an English king known to have been crowned and anointed.
The chronicler, William of Malmesbury, stated that the beauty of Ealdorman Ordgar's daughter, Ælfthryth, was reported to King Edgar. Edgar, looking for a Queen, sent Æthelwald to see Ælfthryth, ordering him "to offer her marriage [to Edgar] if her beauty were really equal to report." When she turned out to be just as beautiful as was said, Æthelwald married her himself and reported back to Edgar that she was quite unsuitable. Edgar was eventually told of this, and decided to repay Æthelwald's betrayal in like manner. He said that he would visit the poor woman, which alarmed Æthelwald. He asked Ælfthryth to make herself as unattractive as possible for the king's visit, but she did the opposite. Edgar, quite besotted with her, killed Æthelwald during a hunt.
It’s a vivid account, but there is no supporting evidence to add veracity to the story. It may be a tale told about Ælfthryth in support of the image of her as a scheming and evil stepmother and wicked queen. By the 12th century the Liber Eliensis was calling her a witch who murdered not only her stepson, Edward the Martyr, but also the Abbot of Ely.
We may never know the truth of either or actions or her motives; Ælfthryth’s reputation might have been treated more kindly by history if her son, succeeding Edward the Martyr, had been more capable.

NOV. 12, 1035. DEATH OF CANUTE REX, KING OF ENGLAND, NORWAY AND DENMARK. CREATOR OF 'EMPIRE OF THE SEAS'.
"On 12th November 1035 Cnut the Great, King of England and Emperor of the North, died at Shaftesbury and was buried at Winchester Old Minster. He was succeeded in England by his son Harald, while his other son, Harðacnut, took and fought to hold the throne of Denmark.
According to the Knytlinga Saga:
“Knut was exceptionally tall and strong, and the handsomest of men, all except for his nose, that was thin, high-set, and rather hooked. He had a fair complexion none-the-less, and a fine, thick head of hair. His eyes were better than those of other men, both the handsomer and the keener of their sight.”
Cnut was the son of Sweyn Forkbeard, the Dane who was briefly King of England (by right of conquest), having finally driven out Æþelred Unrede in 1013 after extorting tribute from him for a number of years. However, Sweyn did not live long to enjoy the fruits of his victory and died in February 1014.
On Sweyn’s death the Danelaw came out in support of Cnut but the other English nobles recalled Æþelred from Normandy where he was in exile. Æþelred returned to England, and, in a pre-cursor to the events of Runnymede in 1215 when John agreed the Magna Carta, Æþelred swore to be a better king and rule more justly.
Cnut at this time was a young warrior, relatively untried as a leader of men, and despite his support in parts of the country he was driven out by the English until he returned in full force in 1015. He was much more effective in this later campaign and took most of the country, with the only meaningful resistance being brought by Edmund Ironside, son of Æþelred.
After Æþelred’s death in 1016 Edmund fought back even more vigorously against Cnut so that by November the two were brought to an agreement at Deerhurst to split the country between them. However, Edmund died soon after and Cnut became sole ruler of England with his coronation taking place on Christmas Day.
Things moved on smartly in 1017, as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us:
“AD 1017. In this year king Cnut obtained the whole realm of the English race, and divided it into four parts: Wessex to himself, and East Anglia to Thurkyll, and Mercia to Eadric, and Northumbria to Irke. And in this year was Eadric the ealdorman slain in London, very justly, and Northman, son of Leofwine the ealdorman, and Aethelweard, son of Aethelmaer the great, and Brihtric, son of Aelfeh, in Devonshire. And king Cnut banished Eadwigthe etheling, and afterwards commanded him to be slain, and Eadwi, king of the churls. And then, before the kalends of August, the king commanded the relict of king Aethelred, Richard's daughter, to be fetched for his wife, 'that was Elfgive in English, Ymma in French.”
You read that right – he married Æþelred’s widow, Emma of Normandy, daughter of Richard of Normandy and mother of Edward and Alfred. The couple had two children, Gunnhilda and Harðacnut, while Cnut also had a “Danish” wife Ælfgifu of Northampton, with whom he had a son Harald (Harefoot).
Cnut ruled from 1016-1035. He established the earldoms of England and although he initially controlled Wessex directly he eventually created the Earldom of Wessex which was given to Godwin, cementing that family’s rise to power.
Cnut’s brother Harald died in 1018 and Cnut then took the throne of Denmark as well as England. In Norway, Olaf had replaced Sweyn Forkbeard as king but in 1029 his nobles supported the invasion of Cnut and so Cnut became King of Norway as well.
England took up Cnut’s main attention and he placed Ælfgifu and Harald as regents in Norway with disastrous consequences. Their rule was so unpopular that they were driven out by Magnus, the son of Olaf, in 1035, when as an eleven year old boy he was proclaimed king by the Norwegian nobles. Olaf’s brother Harald was to return later and to have a significant effect on English history, for he became better known as Harald Hardrada.
Cnut worked with the church, particularly Bishop Wulfstan, to rule England according to English laws and customs from the time of King Edgar. He promoted men he trusted from the English ranks as well as Danish. In 1027 he was able to leave the kingdom securely while he travelled to Rome to witness the coronation of Conrad, the Holy Roman Emperor.
While in Rome he negotiated fiercely for better terms for English merchants, pilgrims and churchmen. He wrote in a letter to his nobles:
“I spoke with the Emperor himself and the Lord Pope and the princes there about the needs of all people of my entire realm, both English and Danes, that a juster law and securer peace might be granted to them on the road to Rome and that they should not be straitened by so many barriers along the road, and harassed by unjust tolls; and the Emperor agreed and likewise King Robert who governs most of these same toll gates. And all the magnates confirmed by edict that my people, both merchants, and the others who travel to make their devotions, might go to Rome and return without being afflicted by barriers and toll collectors, in firm peace and secure in a just law.”
Henry of Huntingdon, writing in the 12th century, records a summary of his reign including the curious story of the King Cnut and the Tide:
“A few words must be devoted to the power of this king. Before him there had never been in England a king of such great authority, He was lord of all Denmark, of all England, of all Norway, and also of Scotland. In addition to the many wars in which he was most particularly illustrious, he performed three fine and magnificent deeds. The first is that he gave his daughter in marriage to the Roman emperor, with indescribably riches. The second, that on his journey to Rome, he had the evil taxes that were levied on the road that goes through France, called tolls or passage tax, reduced by half at his own expense. The third, that when he was at the height of his ascendancy, he ordered his chair to be placed on the sea-shore as the tide was coming iin. The he said to the rising tide, “You are subject to me, as the land on which I am sitting is mine, and no one has resisted my overlordship with impunity. I command you, therefore, not to rise onto my land, nor to presume to wet the clothing or limbs of your master.” But the sea came up as usual, and disrespectfully drenched the king’s feet and shins. So jumping back, the king cried, “Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless, and there is no king worthy of the name save Him by whose will heaven, earth and sea obey eternal laws.” Thereafter King Cnut never wore the golden crown, but placed it on the image of the crucified Lord, in eternal praise of God the great king. By whose mercy may the soul of King Cnut enjoy rest.”
Cnut was buried at the Old Minster in Winchester, which he and Queen Emma had richly endowed, and his bone translated to a mortuary chest when the cathedral was rebuilt. In the English Civil War (17th century) his bones were scattered and trampled with others by soldiers, and only later collected and placed back in the mortuary chests, although in a muddled fashion with the other victims of the desecration.
Coincidentally on 12th November 1041 Cnut’s son, Harthacnut, laid waste to Worcester after the murder of his tax collectors on 4th May – (...)."

Queen consorts of England and Britain | [3/50] | Eadgifu of Kent
Eadgifu was Queen consort of Wessex from about 919 until 924 as the third wife of Edward the Elder. She was born possibly between 899—903 and was the daughter of ealdorman Sigehelm of Kent. She married Edward the Elder in about 919 and they had four children together including Edmund and Eadred who both became Kings of England and Eadburh who became a saint. Although she was not treated well by her step-son, Æthelstan, during his reign, she regained her power and influence during the reigns of her sons. She was so influential, in fact, that she often overshadowed her daughter-in-law, Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury. During the reign of her grandson, Eadwig, she was stripped of all her lands and power possibly because of the fact that she sided with Eadwig’s younger brother, Edgar, during the conflict between them. However, once Edgar succeeded to the throne, her lands were restored to her. Her exact date of death is unknown, but she was last recorded at a charter in 966.
