    Edward the Confessor, King of England died on January 4, 1066 and was buried at Westminster Abbey. On his deathbed he named his son, Harold as his successor, even although he had promised William of Normandy. However, in October 1066, at the Battle of Hastings Harold was killed by William. And two months later, he ascended the throne.

    Edward the Confessor was born on 4th January, 1066. He ruled England from, June 8, 1042 until his demise. His time in power marked the ongoing disintegrate of majestic authority in England, in spite of his incompetent leadership and the resulting difficulties with his aristocracy. His period of influence was marked by harmony and prosperity. The Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church considered him a patron saint of complicated marriages, divided spouses and kings. He was considered the patron saint of England right from the supremacy of Henry II of England to 1348.
