'''Athelstan'''' (d.939) [[king]] of [[England]] (924-939) is considered one of the greatest of the [[Anglo-Saxon]] kings. Being brought up as much in his aunt [[Ethelfleda]]’s [[Mercia]]n court as in his father, Edward’s, [[Wessex]] household, gave him the advantage of enjoying the support of both.
