# Edward the Elder

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward the Elder (c. 874-877 - 17 July 924) was King of England from 899 until his death in 924. He was the son of Alfred the Great but had to fight his cousin, Aethelwold, to become King. He fought many battles during his time as King. Most of them were to expand his territory and to stop other groups of people becoming more powerful. He was killed in battle in 924. After his death the Kingdom of England was divided between Ælfweard and Athelstan.
