Athelstan [in People]

Biography

Birthabout 894Æthelstan was born about 894 in Wessex Kingdom, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.
Death27 October 939He died on 27 October 939 at age ~45 in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 45) on Tuesday, October 27th, 939AD is not known-surviving in 939 was difficult

Died as King of the Anglo-Saxons
Burialafter 27 October 939He was buried after 27 October 939 at Interred or buried in the cemetery at Malmesbury AbbeyG in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+. Æthelstan died at Gloucester on 27 October 939

His grandfather Alfred, his father Edward, and his half-brother Ælfweard had all been buried at Winchester, but Æthelstan chose not to honour the city associated with opposition to his rule and by his own wish he was buried at Malmesbury Abbey, where he had buried his cousins who died at Brunanburh

No other member of the West Saxon royal family was buried there, and according to William of Malmesbury, Æthelstan's choice reflected his devotion to the abbey and to the memory of its seventh-century abbot, Saint Aldhelm. William described Æthelstan as fair-haired "as I have seen for myself in his remains, beautifully intertwined with gold threads"

His bones were lost during the Reformation, but he is commemorated by an empty fifteenth-century tomb
NameÆthelstan was also known as See note for alternate spellings of his name.
NoteÆthelstan (c. 894-27 October 939) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 924 to 927 and then the King of the English from 927 until he died

He was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. Modern historians regard him as the first King of England and one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon kings. He never married and had no recorded children, and was succeeded by his half-brother, Edmund

In 927 he conquered the last remaining Viking kingdom, York, making him the first Anglo-Saxon ruler of the whole of England

In 934 he invaded Scotland and forced Constantine II to submit to him, but Æthelstan's rule was resented by the Scots and Vikings, and in 937 they invaded England. Æthelstan defeated them at the Battle of Brunanburh, a victory which gave him great prestige both in the British Isles and on the Continent

After his death in 939, the Vikings seized back control of York, and it was not finally reconquered until 954

Æthelstan centralized government; he increased control over the production of charters and summoned leading figures from distant areas to his councils. These meetings were also attended by rulers from outside his territory, especially Welsh kings, who thus acknowledged his overlordship

More legal texts survive from his reign than from any other 10th-century English king. These show his concern about widespread robberies, and the threat they posed to social order. His legal reforms built on those of his grandfather, Alfred the Great

Æthelstan was one of the most pious West Saxon kings, and was known for collecting relics and founding churches. His household was the centre of English learning during his reign, and it laid the foundation for the Benedictine monastic reform later in the century. No other West Saxon king played as important a role in European politics as Æthelstan, and he arranged the marriages of several of his sisters to continental rulers.

His half-brother Ælfweard could have been recognised as king in Wessex, but he died within three weeks of their father's death

Æthelstan encountered resistance in Wessex for several months, and was not crowned until September 925.
