Edward the Confessor - Last of the Royal Blood

Edward the Confessor has often been mistakenly characterized as a weak and unwilling king. In this authoritative account, Tom Licence presents a strikingly different Edward. He was a compassionate man and a conscientious ruler, whose reign marked an interval of peace and prosperity between periods of strife.
