I. Edmund was born in 921. Edmund is the brother of Athelstan. Athelstan chose Edmund as the heir because he had never married. And after Athelstan was killed, Edmund became king of England in 939.

In Edmund he fought against the Vikings like Athelstan. And Edmund offered the Vikings two options. The first of these options would be a Vikings should be a Christian, the second a non-Christian Vikings would leave England. Fearing Edmund's army, the Vikings chose one of these two choices. And after many years on this track, the UK got rid of the Vikings.

Edmund also worked hard for the welfare of the people of England. Edmund gave the field the poor people for farming and he reduced tax rates. However, thanks to Edmund's understanding, progress has been made in the medical field thanks to Edmund.

That is why the people of England have addressed Edmund as Edmund the Magnificent. Edmund died in 946.
