Edward I was the son of Alfred The Great. Upon his father's death in 899 he became the King of Wessex.
Edward I may very well have exceeded his father's military achievements. He restored the Danelow to Saxon rule. After the death of Ethelfleda, his sister, he reigned in Mercia from 918 until his death.
Edward had three wives and about eighteen children. Eadgifu, his daughter, married King Charles III of France. Their son, Louis, became King Louis IV of France.

He died in 924 and was buried at Winchester.

An unknown artist drew the imaginary portrait in the 18th Century.
