Aethelstan  [Athelstan]  (893/4-939), king of England, was the eldest son of
King Edward the Elder  (870s?-924), with his first wife, Ecgwynn.

---------------------------
This was a really excellent biography of Aethelstan - well worth reading. It
will only be available to non-subscribers for about three days, so read it
soon.
