Removed Edmund has also been connected with the Truelove Eyre legend, and some sources, impossible to confirm, insist that he was the famous knight's grandfather. There is no shred of evidence (beyond circumstantial) to support this claim, but it persists nonetheless. as being unencyclopedic. -- Henrygb 08:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Wasnt he stabbed in the toilet?I've heard this several times before and i added it but someone deleted it.Could someone clarify this for me? Dermo69
Edmund II of England → Edmund Ironside – No disambiguation required as about nine out of ten Google books hits would appear to refer to this Edmund Ironside which justifies moving Edmund Ironside to Edmund Ironside (disambiguation). The regnal number is not always found in references, but "Ironside" does appear to be. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm very new to this so apologies if I'm writing this in the wrong place, but I wish to question the veracity of a statement on the Edmund Ironside page. It asserts that Edmund's father (Ethelred) remarried twice after the death of Edmund's mother. I am aware of him remarrying once to Emma of Normandy, but to whom was the second of the two remarriages? As I'm a novice I didn't thinking it was my place to go altering text without at least asking for clarification first. Thanks, -- Whitenoiseuk ( talk) 20:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
My rationale for requesting this move is entirely subjective, and is based on my recollection of what the books I read as child called Edmund. Edmund Ironside seems to come out ahead in ghits, and in gbooks, and the Edmund II's usually say Edmund II (Ironside), Edmund II Ironside, Edmund II known as Edmund Ironside, and the like. Conversely, Edmund Ironside references don't appear to mention Edmund II. In other words, you could know that the subject was called Edmund Ironside, but not Edmund II, whereas it would be very unlikely that you could know that subject as Edmund II only.

I'm very new to this so apologies if I'm writing this in the wrong place, but I wish to question the veracity of a statement on the Edmund Ironside page( 1 Family 1st paragraph).

I am aware of him remarrying once to Emma of Normandy, but to whom was the second of the two remarriages? As I'm a novice I didn't thinking it was my place to go altering text without at least asking for clarification first, but I believe that although Ethelred was married twice he only remarried once.

Thanks for responding. So am I right in thinking you're agreeing with me that the assertion that he remarried twice is incorrect and needs to be altered? -- Whitenoiseuk ( talk) 18:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
"paving the way for Æthelred and his family to return to the throne, which they did but without opposition. In the process they forced Sweyn's son, Cnut, back to Denmark"
Shouldn't "but WITHOUT opposition" be "but WITH opposition", since Cnut was forced to leave? I hesitate to change this without input, since I don't knows the facts. Perhaps someone else would like to do the honors? 24.90.104.148 ( talk) 18:57, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
On a lot of the pages of the Anglo-Saxons English monarchs, it's stated that the regnal numbering of monarchs started after the Norman conquest? However, I see no evidence of this. The Royal Mint and the Royal Family website commonly refers to the Anglo-Saxon monarchs with regnal numbering and even some of the pages on Wikipedia contradict this. Why is Edmund I and Æthelred II referred to with a regnal number if the regnal numbering didn't start a until 1066? It's all just too inconsistent and messy. It needs sorting and organising.
