2. | King of England Edmund II "Ironside" was born in 989 in Wessex, England (son of King of England Æthelred II "The Unready" and Ælgifu Gunnarson); died on 30 Nov 1016 in London, England; was buried in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Notes:
The death of Edmund Ironside so soon after his peace treaty with Canute has always been suspicious. Although the offcial story was that he died of natural cuases, at least one chronicler claimed that he was murdered. The assassin apparently hid under the king's privy and, when the king came to relieve himself, he was stabbed twice up through the bowels. He is the only king believed to have been murdered on the toilet, though George II also died (of a heart attack) while going to the lavatory.
Edmund married Ealdgyth in Aug 1015 in England. Ealdgyth was born about 995 in Wessex, England; died in 1016 in London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
