Edward the Confessor
Edward the Confessor was the King of England from 1042 until his death in 1066, known for his deeply religious nature and the establishment of Westminster Abbey. His reign was marked by relative peace and stability, but his death without a direct heir led to a succession crisis that ultimately triggered the Norman Conquest. Edward's legacy includes his canonization as a saint and his influence on the English monarchy and church.
