Edmund
King of East Anglia, Martyr, 870
Edmund ascended the throne of East Anglia at the age of fifteen, one of several monarchs who ruled various parts of England at that period in her history.

Dunstan had heard the story many years before from a man who claimed to have been Edmunds armor bearer.
