Edwy

King of England, son of Edmund I. He succeeded his uncle Edred as king in 955 and drove Edred's chief adviser St Dunstan, then virtually ruler, into exile the same year.

On the revolt in 957 of the Mercians and Northumbrians, who had chosen his brother Edgar as king, he was left to rule Wessex and Kent from 957 to 959.
