Edmund

Edmund, also known as Eadmund, was a son of Harold Godwinson, the King of England. His exact birth date is not documented, but he likely was born after his elder brother, who is thought to have come into the world in the mid- to late 1040s. Edmund was one of Harold’s five sons, possibly the second or third. He was named after Edmund Ironside, an English king who led resistance against Danish invasion. Despite being too young to participate in the Battle of Hastings, where his father was defeated and killed, Edmund subsequently engaged in military actions against the Normans.

Following the Norman conquest, Edmund, alongside two of his brothers, sought exile in Dublin. There, they joined forces and led two unsuccessful expeditions to south-western England in an attempt to challenge Norman rule. By the early 1070s, Edmund vanished from historical records, with his later life and death remaining unchronicled.
