Edmund was granted Wessex as a peace offering, but died or was murdered soon afterwards. Son of Sweyn Forkbeard, Canute, was declared king of England in 1017.

I am 19 years old, I study at the secondary school and I am preparing for university. I don’t really have any problems with my studies, but not everything is all right. Most young people know about these feelings, I am going to tell you about my thoughts and opinions... I know many people, but I’ve got only one friend.
