Well-trained by Alfred, his son Edward ''the Elder'' (reigned 899-924) wasa bold soldier who defeated the Danes in Northumbria at Tettenhall in 910and was acknowledged by the Viking kingdom of York. The kings ofStrathclyde and the Scots submitted to Edward in 921. By military successand patient planning, Edward spread English influence and control. Muchof this was due to his alliance with his formidable sister Aethelflaed,who was married to the ruler of Mercia and seems to have governed thatkingdom after her husband''s death. Edward was able to establish anadministration for the kingdom of England, whilst obtaining theallegiance of Danes, Scots and Britons. Edward died in 924, and he wasburied in the New Minster which he had had completed at Winchester.Edward was twice married, but it is possible that his eldest sonAthelstan was the son of a mistress.
