BIOGRAPHY Eric Delderfield:

 "Known as 'the Peaceful' or 'the Peaceable,' Edgar's reign [from 959-975] was spared Viking invasions, and he even began to employ Danish subjects.  His policy was shaped by Dunstan, [Archbishop of Canterbury and former treasurer to Edgar's father, Edmund I] whose respected position helped Edgar's reputation amongst European rulers. New elements in monastic pageantry were introduced by him, his coronation at Bath emulating that of his kinsman, Otto the Great, as German emporer. Edgar's queen, Aelfthryth, was anointed at his When seven British, Scottish, and Welsh kings came to Chester to submit formally to Edgar, they purportedly rowed him on the River Dee.  Though almost certainly apocryphal, the story reflects the dominance

of the ertswhile West Saxon kings."
