We celebrated Saint Edward on January 05. Edward was born between 1002 and 1004. The Danish Invasion in 1003, Emma took her sons, Edward and Alfred, seek refuge nearby Richard II of Normandie. In 1041 Edward returned to England.

At the death of Knut the Great on June 08th 1042, Edward retook the Kingdom and was crowned at Winchester Cathedral on April 3, 1043. He was the last king of England to reign before the Norman conquest of William the Conqueror.

The Reign of Edward has been marked by a period of order and peace after the failure of the Danish Invasion. With humility, wisdom and skill he restores the crown by seeking understanding and reconciliation. On January 23, 1045, he married Edith.

He made sure that his reign was as just and charitable as possible. He lived in London and Westminster where he built a cathedral. He died on January 5, 1066, shortly after his dedication.

The name Edward come from the german "ed": richness and "warden": to wait. The Edward 's are calm, not very talkative and shy. They like the quest for new things in a new place just as much as they like change. In permanent expectation of freedom and autonomy, the Edwards are not afraid to change place or activity.
