From his ability as a war commander – he had enormous prestige from his actions as a 15 year old with Athelstan at the Battle of Brunanburh – and evidence of lawmaking as king, it can be said that he had the potential to be a great ruler. He died when 24, knifed whilst helping to subdue a criminal at a banquet. He was succeeded by his brother, [[Edred]].
