'''Edmund I'''(922-946), [[king]] of [[England]] (939-946), was eighteen when he succeeded his half-brother, [[Athelstan]]. He came to the throne at a time of renewed trouble in the north with the [[Irish]] [[Viking]] Olaf Guthfrithsson invading England and forcing Edmund to a peace agreement ceding control of [[York]]. However, he was able to take back control of the “five boroughs” ([[Leicester]], [[Lincoln]], [[Nottingham]], [[Derby]] and [[Stamford]] from Olaf’s successor in 942 when the [[Danish]] inhabitants of those regions “indicated” their preference for his rule.
