Edward the Elder (c. 874 \endash 17 July 924) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 899 until his death. He was the elder son of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith. When Edward succeeded to the throne, he had to defeat a challenge from his cousin Æthelwold, who had a strong claim to the throne as the son of Alfred's elder brother and predecessor, Æthelred.


Edward married Ælfflæd about 899.


Edward next married Eadgifu (Edgiva, Ediva) OF KENT in 919. (Eadgifu (Edgiva, Ediva) OF KENT was born before 903 and died after 966.)
