[46] In 1894, her brother-in-law Alexander III of Russia died and her nephew Nicholas II of Russia became Tsar. Inspired by Bernard Cornwells historical novels, Netflixs The Last Kingdom has had viewers transfixed with its blend of intense battle scenes and emotional moments since 2015. Edward's two youngest sons later reigned as kings Edmund I and Eadred. The episode suggests that south-east Wales fell within the West Saxon sphere of power, unlike Brycheiniog just to the north, where Mercia was dominant. He thinks and solves problems. In Holstein, the Salic law prevented inheritance through the female line, whereas no such restrictions applied in Denmark. Meanwhile, Lord Blandford's brother, Lord Randolph Churchill, persuaded the lovers against an elopement. Close to death, Alfred apologizes to Uhtred for failing to acknowledge his sacrifices and he makes it clear that he is indebted to the warrior. Edward kept an army on the south side of the estuary in case the Vikings broke their promises, and he twice had to repel attacks. [57] Alexandra despised and distrusted Emperor Wilhelm, calling him "inwardly our enemy" in 1900. The earliest primary sources do not distinguish whether Sihtric's wife was thelstan's full or half sister, and a tradition recorded at Bury in the early twelfth century makes her a daughter of Edward's second wife, lffld. [66] On 17 September 1916, she was at Sandringham during a Zeppelin air raid,[67] but far worse was to befall other members of her family. By the end of the 910s he ruled Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia, and only Northumbria remained under Viking rule. See, for example, the cover of Battiscombe. [55], The only surviving large-scale embroideries which were certainly made in Anglo-Saxon England date to Edward's reign. Alexandra's widowed sister, the Dowager Empress of Russia, leant heavily on her for support; Alexandra, who had gone to Russia accompanied by her husband, the Prince of Wales, slept, prayed, and stayed beside her sister for the next two weeks until Alexander's burial. [1] In 865 the Danish Viking Great Heathen Army landed in East Anglia and used this as a starting point for an invasion. [19], In 911 thelred, Lord of the Mercians, died, and Edward took control of the Mercian lands around London and Oxford. The couple married eighteen months later in 1863, the year in which her father became king of Denmark as Christian IX and her brother William was appointed king of Greece as George I. Alexandra was Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901, the longest anyone has ever held that title, and became generally popular; her style of dress and bearing were copied by fashion-conscious women. He also helped Earl Thurketil and his followers to leave England, reducing the number of Viking armies in the Midlands. While Uhtred is central to the plot, much of the political intrigue and negotiation of war at the heart of the show involves the two kings of Wessex- Alfred and Edward. [17], Janet Nelson suggests that there was conflict between Alfred and Edward in the 890s. A few months later, Alexandra travelled from Denmark to Britain aboard the royal yacht Victoria and Albert and arrived in Gravesend, Kent, on 7 March 1863. [52] Her father, Christian IX of Denmark, died that January. Aylesford was appalled and decided to seek a divorce. As well as trusting traitors, Edward is hot-headed and frequently makes rash decisions based on his emotions. [19] During the birth of her third child in 1867, the added complication of a bout of rheumatic fever threatened Alexandra's life, and left her with a permanent limp. No coins were struck in the name of thelred or thelfld, but from around 910 mints in English Mercia produced coins with an unusual decorative design on the reverse. In a 1980 stage play by Royce Ryton, Motherdear, she was portrayed by Margaret Lockwood in her last acting role.

He was succeeded by his eldest son, thelstan. In 916 he returned to Essex and built a fort at Maldon to bolster the defence of Witham. [44] Alexandra said, "I have buried my angel and with him my happiness. As revealed by the Royal Collection Trust, Eadgifu was interned after her death at Canterbury Cathedral in Kent where an 15th century panel painting was found that helped an engraver to produce a portrait of her. Rgnald was the Norse Viking king of York in southern Northumbria, and Eadwulf was the Anglo-Saxon ruler of northern Northumbria, which was not conquered by the Vikings. The two sides met at the Battle of the Holme (perhaps Holme in Huntingdonshire) on 13 December 902. [7] Alexandra shared a draughty attic bedroom with her sister, Dagmar, made her own clothes, and waited at table along with her sisters. After Alfreds death, his son Edward takes over and reigns for the remaining two seasons of the show, and proves to be much less successful than his father, with his range of errors and unwise moves leading to him being hated as king by many viewers. In Russia, her nephew Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown and he, his wife and their children were killed by revolutionaries. Alexandra has been portrayed on television by Deborah Grant and Helen Ryan in Edward the Seventh, Ann Firbank in Lillie, Maggie Smith in All the King's Men, and Bibi Andersson in The Lost Prince. Adapted from Bernard Cromwell's The Saxon Stories novels, The Last Kingdom is a British historical drama that offers viewers five seasons of life in medieval Britain. Although Uhtred repeatedly proves his loyalty, King Alfred thinks ahead and trusts only God, making him difficult to betray. At the age of sixteen Alexandra was chosen as the future wife of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the son and heir apparent of Queen Victoria. Alfred's wife Ealhswith was ignored in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in her husband's lifetime, but emerged from obscurity when her son acceded. [22], In London in 886 Alfred had received the formal submission of "all the English people that were not under subjection to the Danes", and thereafter he adopted the title Anglorum Saxonum rex (King of the Anglo-Saxons), which is used in his later charters and all but two of Edward's. They enlisted the aid of their eldest (and already-married) daughter, Crown Princess Victoria of Prussia, in seeking a suitable candidate. [66] Driven by public opinion, but against his own wishes, the King had the banners removed; but to Alexandra's dismay, he had taken down not only "those vile Prussian banners" but also those of her Hessian relations who were, in her opinion, "simply soldiers or vassals under that brutal German Emperor's orders". [55] Despite this, the exchange went ahead. Other medieval chroniclers expressed similar views, and he was generally seen as inferior in book learning, but superior in military success. After that, the Northumbrian Danes did not venture south of the River Humber during Edward's reign, and he and his Mercian allies were able to concentrate on conquering the southern Danelaw in East Anglia and the Five Boroughs of Viking east Mercia: Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham and Stamford. She was the first woman since 1488 to be made a Lady of the Garter. Like in the series, she was the second wife of Edward the Elder (Timothy Innes), after he had a child with his first 'secret' wife . [25], Other historians disagree. [24] This view of Edward's status is accepted by Martin Ryan, who states that thelred and thelfld had "a considerable but ultimately subordinate share of royal authority" in English Mercia. [93], Queen Alexandra's arms upon the accession of her husband in 1901 were the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom impaled with the arms of her father, the King of Denmark. King Alfred (David Dawson) from The Last Kingdom is loved by viewers, but his son King Edward (Timothy Innes) often receives hate. But William of Malmesbury also stated that thelstan's accession in 924 was opposed by a nobleman who claimed that his mother was a concubine of low birth. [47] It acquired relics of the Breton Saint Judoc, which probably arrived in England from Ponthieu in 901, and the body of one of Alfred's closest advisers, Grimbald, who died in the same year and who was soon venerated as a saint. He was largely ignored by historians until the late twentieth century, but he is now highly regarded. [34], Alexandra spent the spring of 1877 in Greece recuperating from a period of ill health and visiting her brother King George of Greece. There were also an unknown number of children who died young. Alfred and Ealhswith had five children who survived childhood. The Last Kingdom: King Edward sends a message of 'intent' . [77] There are at least sixty-seven roads and streets in the Greater London area alone called Alexandra Road, Alexandra Avenue, Alexandra Gardens, Alexandra Close or Alexandra Street, all named after her. Eliza Butterworth is also known for her portrayal as Holly in the TV series DCI Banks and Lucy Hamilton in WPC 5. It then attacked Ergyng in south-east Wales (now Archenfield in Herefordshire) and captured Cyfeilliog, Bishop of Ergyng. [5], As a son of a king, Edward was an theling, a prince of the royal house who was eligible for kingship. Many fans of The Last Kingdom hate Edward being king in the historical series, but love his father, the intelligent and noble King Alfred. [13], In about 893, Edward probably married Ecgwynn, who bore him two children, the future King thelstan and a daughter who married Sitric Cech, a Viking King of York. [9] At Bernstorff, Alexandra grew into a young woman; she was taught English by the English chaplain at Copenhagen and was confirmed in Christiansborg Palace. [16], By the end of the following year, Alexandra's father had ascended the throne of Denmark, her brother William had become King George I of Greece, her sister Dagmar was engaged to Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsesarevich of Russia,[b] and Alexandra had given birth to her first child. Just like the show version of her, the real Lady Eadgifu was the third wife of King Edward the Elder of Wessex and the mother of Edmund, King of the English. Lady Eadgifu was also in both the show and movie - though played by different stars - and her return might have left some fans wondering more about her. In 877 the Vikings partitioned Mercia, taking the eastern regions for themselves and allowing Ceolwulf to keep the western ones. [72], According to William of Malmesbury, Edward was "much inferior to his father in the cultivation of letters", but "incomparably more glorious in the power of his rule". His reputation rose in the late twentieth century and he is now seen as destroying the power of the Vikings in southern England while laying the foundations for a south-centred united English kingdom. [74] An ode in her memory, "So many true princesses who have gone", composed by the then Master of the King's Musick Sir Edward Elgar to words by the Poet Laureate John Masefield, was sung at the unveiling and conducted by the composer. She is described as the daughter of Edward and Ecgwynn in William of Malmesbury's twelfth century Deeds of the English Kings, and Michael Wood's argument that this is partly based on a lost early life of thelstan has been generally accepted. [30] In 909 Edward sent a combined West Saxon and Mercian army which harassed the Northumbrian Danes, and seized the bones of the Northumbrian royal saint Oswald from Bardney Abbey in Lincolnshire. But all of us Danes in our welcome of thee, When Edward succeeded to the throne, he had to defeat a challenge from his cousin thelwold, who had a strong claim to the throne as the son of Alfred's elder brother and predecessor, thelred I. Alfred had succeeded thelred as king of Wessex in 871, and almost faced defeat against the Danish Vikings until his decisive victory at the Battle of Edington in 878. Higham summarises Edward's legacy as follows: Edward's cognomen 'the Elder' was first used in Wulfstan's Life of St thelwold at the end of the tenth century, to distinguish him from King Edward the Martyr. In 925, after Edward's death, another daughter Eadgyth married Otto, the future King of Germany and (after Eadgyth's death) Holy Roman Emperor. Season five hes in his element, he said. While he almost achieves Alfreds dream of England, Edward doesn't deserve the glory he receives for his victories. Frederick was childless, had been through two unsuccessful marriages, and was assumed to be infertile. Alexandra! [60] Shortly afterwards, she left to visit her brother George in Corfu.

Queen Alexandra lay in state at Westminster Abbey, and was interred on 28 November next to her husband in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Season three of The Last Kingdom contains a leadership struggle. The monastery was next to Winchester Cathedral, which became known as the Old Minster while Edward's foundation was called the New Minster. She may have been related to St Dunstan, the aristocratic tenth-century Archbishop of Canterbury. [49] He may have built the new church because he did not think that the Old Minster was grand enough to be the royal mausoleum for kings of the Anglo-Saxons, not just the West Saxons like their predecessors. Joseph Merrick, the so-called "Elephant Man", was one of the patients whom she met. 23, The order in which Edward's children are listed is based on the family tree in Foot's. Adapted from Bernard Cromwells The Saxon Stories novels, The Last Kingdom is a British historical drama that offers viewers five seasons of life in medieval Britain. Eventually, after rejecting other possibilities, they settled on her as "the only one to be chosen". Alexandra deputised for him at a military parade, and attended the Royal Ascot races without him, in an attempt to prevent public alarm. I had a blast on The Last Kingdom. She did not attend the coronation of her son and daughter-in-law in 1911 since it was not customary for a crowned queen to attend the coronation of another king or queen, but otherwise continued the public side of her life, devoting time to her charitable causes. [40], In 908, Plegmund conveyed the alms of the English king and people to the Pope, the first visit to Rome by an Archbishop of Canterbury for almost a century, and the journey may have been to seek papal approval for a proposed re-organisation of the West Saxon sees. She died in around 968 after spending 44 years as a widow and having seen her stepson King thelstan become King of the English. The English then took Colchester, although they did not try to hold it. This is the start of the continuous history in England of trial by ordeal; it is probably mentioned in the laws of King Ine (688 to 726),[b] but not in later codes such as those of Alfred. [56] The Frankfurter Zeitung was outspoken in its condemnation of Alexandra and her sister, the Dowager Empress, saying that the pair were "the centre of the international anti-German conspiracy". The Germans fortified the island and, in the words of Robert Ensor and as Alexandra had predicted, it "became the keystone of Germany's maritime position for offence as well as for defence". By Ashna Tamrakar Update : November 28, 2021 Eliza Butterworth is an actress best known for portraying Queen Aelswith of Wessex in the Netflix/ BBC historical drama series 'The Last Kingdom.' Who Is Eliza Butterworth? The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was compiled at the West Saxon court from the 890s, and the entries for the late ninth and early tenth centuries are seen by historians as reflecting the West Saxon viewpoint; Davidson observes: "Alfred and Edward possessed skilled 'spin doctors'. "[18] Albert Edward and Alexandra had six children in total: Albert Victor, George, Louise, Victoria, Maud, and Alexander. This ceased before 920, and probably represents thelfld's way of distinguishing her coinage from that of her brother. [1] Her father was Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glcksburg and her mother was Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel. In the first season, he dons a hood and hides amongst a crowd to witness the betrayal of Odda the Younger (Brian Vernel) and rallies the surprised crowd to his side when he steps out after Young Odda is killed. They probably did not reach their intended destination because thelstan was on bad terms with Winchester. After her illness the previous year, she had only just begun to walk again without the aid of two walking sticks, and was already pregnant with her fourth child. [88] Alexandra's effect on fashion was so profound that society ladies even copied her limping gait, after her serious illness in 1867 left her with a stiff leg. Birth City: Richmond, London, England. He was the elder son of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 918, "All the people who had settled in Mercia, both Danish and English, submitted to him." In Turkey she became the first woman to sit down to dinner with the Sultan (Abdulaziz). The fast-paced drama unveils the political turmoil caused by the Viking invasion of Britain, and the show is filled with incredible fight scenes, back-stabbing politics, murder, and romance. [21] She enjoyed many social activities, including dancing and ice-skating, and was an expert horsewoman and tandem driver. [57] Charters rarely survive unless they concerned property which passed to the church and were preserved in their archives, and another possibility is that Edward was making grants of property only on terms which ensured that they returned to male members of the royal house; such charters would not be found in church archives. The same offer is not known to have been made to Edward, and the Norse Vikings took York in 919. To the great irritation of Queen Victoria and the Crown Princess of Prussia, Alexandra and Albert Edward supported the Danish side in the war. [41] When Edward came to the throne Wessex had two dioceses, Winchester, held by Denewulf, and Sherborne, held by Asser. Its with a heavy heart that I say no, because of a scheduling conflict, she said. Alexandra! While he is always attentive to others, he is also wary of potential betrayal. Although Lord Randolph Churchill later apologised, for years afterwards the Prince of Wales refused to speak to or see him. In contrast, Alfred uses Uhtreds help and his own wits to secure Wessex and gain lasting alliances, wealth, and men. However, that life was snatched away from him as a young boy when Danes attacked, killing. Despite her personal views, Alexandra supported her son's reluctant agreement to Prime Minister H. H. Asquith's request to create sufficient Liberal peers after a general election if the Lords continued to block the legislation. In the autumn the Vikings moved on to Ireland. [4] According to Asser in his Life of King Alfred, Edward and lfthryth were educated at court by male and female tutors, and read ecclesiastical and secular works in English, such as the Psalms and Old English poems. Alexandra knew about most of these relationships, and later permitted Alice Keppel to visit her husband as he lay dying. [22] She also enjoyed hunting, to the dismay of Queen Victoria, who asked her to stop, but without success. No charters survive for the period from 910 to the king's death in 924, much to the puzzlement and distress of historians. Alexandra was deeply saddened by the death of her eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, in 1892. The East Anglians were forced to pay off the Vikings, who invaded Northumbria the following year. The Vikings were defeated by the armies of Hereford and Gloucester, and gave hostages and oaths to keep the peace. During the prince's tour, one of his friends who was travelling with him, Lord Aylesford, was told by his wife that she was going to leave him for another man: Lord Blandford, who was himself married. [4], In 1848, Christian VIII of Denmark died and his only son Frederick ascended the throne. He is the father of Aelflaed, King Edward's wife, and initially before . He is described by Keynes as "far more than the bellicose bit between Alfred and thelstan",[74] and according to Nick Higham: "Edward the Elder is perhaps the most neglected of English kings. For example, in 1890 Alexandra wrote a memorandum, distributed to senior British ministers and military personnel, warning against the planned exchange of the British North Sea island of Heligoland for the German colony of Zanzibar, pointing out Heligoland's strategic significance and that it could be used either by Germany to launch an attack, or by Britain to contain German aggression. [24] The royal couple undertook a six-month tour taking in Austria, Egypt and Greece over 1868 and 1869, which included visits to her brother George I of Greece, to the Crimean battlefields and, for her only, to the harem of the Khedive Ismail. Biographers agree that their marriage was in many ways a happy one; however, some have asserted that Albert Edward did not give his wife as much attention as she would have liked and that they gradually became estranged, until his attack of typhoid fever (the disease which was believed to have killed his father) in late 1871 brought about a reconciliation. She held the status until Edward's death in 1910, at which point their son GeorgeV ascended the throne. And from then on its navigating how love and this new sense of energy and authority that he brings because he is inspired by this woman that he has absolutely fallen in love with, but trusts entirely.. The news that season 5 would be its last was made slightly less heart-breaking when a follow-up movie, Seven Kings Must Die was announced. In his view: Edward continued thelfld's policy of founding burhs in the north-west, at Thelwall and Manchester in 919, and Cledematha (Rhuddlan) at the mouth of the River Clwyd in North Wales in 921. [45] Edward's daughter Eadburh became a nun there, and she was venerated as a saint and the subject of a hagiography by Osbert of Clare in the twelfth century. [86], Alexandra hid a small scar on her neck, which was probably the result of a childhood operation,[87] by wearing choker necklaces and high necklines, setting fashions which were adopted for fifty years. One such cause was Alexandra Rose Day, where artificial roses made by people with disabilities were sold in aid of hospitals by women volunteers. Asser gives more information about Edward's childhood and youth than is known about other Anglo-Saxon princes, providing details about the training of a prince in a period of Carolingian influence, and Yorke suggests that we may know so much due to Alfred's efforts to portray his son as the most throneworthy theling. [36], In early 918, thelfld secured the submission of Leicester without a fight, and the Danes of Northumbrian York offered her their allegiance, probably for protection against Norse (Norwegian) Vikings who had invaded Northumbria from Ireland, but she died on 12 June before she could take up the proposal.
