Notes for King Edward the Confessor of England
Reigned 1042-1066. Named for his piety and his foundation of a new Westminster Abbey (consecrated in 1065). He lived in Normandy (1016-41) and his early reign was dominated by rivalry between his Norman favourites and his father-in-Law. After 1053 the Goodwins were in the ascendant. Edward's childlessness led ultimately to the Norman conquest. He was canonised in 1161. His feast day is 13th October.
