Saint '''Edward the Confessor''' was an [[Anglo-Saxon]] King of [[England]], ruling England from 1042 to 1066 AD.  Edward was the son of King [[Ethelred the Unready]], and he was raised in [[Normandy]] after England was conquered by the [[Denmark|Danish]] King [[Canute]] in 1016 AD. When Edward became King, he brought many advisers from Normandy with him, including Robert of Jumiege, whom he made [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] in 1051 AD.  This made many of the Anglo-Saxon nobles unhappy, and Godwin, the Earl of Wessex, led an unsuccessful revolt against Edward. Edward spent much of his time in prayer and built Westminster Abbey. [[William the Conquerer]], Duke of Normandy, claimed that Edward had promised him the English throne, and when Edward died in 1066 AD William invaded England and made himself king.
