Edward isn’t the only English king to be made a saint. When the Church of England returned after the Commonwealth Charles the first, who had been executed by Cromwell, was seen as Martyr.

Nice episode! Edward the Confessor isnmy favourite English monarch for some reason! There is not.much content about him, and nothing is exciting about reign, yet I find him fascinating!

The confessor was an elected King, not King by birth-right.

William the Conk disbanded the Witan in 1066 and made the throne of England hereditary. This means that all kings from the founding of the kingdom of England in 924 BAR ONE were ELECTED. So basically a lifetime appointment. Edward the Con was the only “king” to not be selected and voted upon. IMO, Edward was gay - see St Aelred’s hagiography ( the bit just before the Witan advises the King to marry). Edward spent most of his time at an Abbey in Normandy before joining Duke Robert’s court and after Robert’s death in 1035( to 1041). No doubt he learnt about healing herbs and poisons. He put those lessons to good use by poisoning Harthacnut the fist time they met in Lambeth in 1041 ( Ed was already co-regent) and in 1053 he poisoned Godwin ( Godwin had lost the protection of Emma d 1052).

Nice job. He also brought the way we take surnames, I can trace my lineage all the way back to 1066, but before that, there's nothing

The British monarch are all descendants of Prophet Muhammed it's clearly stated in all the Islamic literature and the new king Charles lll is very much aware of that and great supporter and believer in Islam he had given many lectures for his love and admiration of Islam hope that Allah will soften his hearts and give him the wisdom and courage to let's his peoples and the kingdom of Uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 embrace Islam ☪️️☪️️☪️️☪️️ the only true religion of the world......

Only true religion. Please don't deceive yourself. Have you forgotten what happened to Muhammad for spreading lies in his preaching?
