I hope to get people to see that the MOST important person in Edward Athling's family was Edward himself and not his daughter, Margaret. She was of very minor importance in the wider picture of the English throne. Of course, as things turned out in 1070 she just happened at the age of 24 to be at the right place at the right time when Malcolm Canmore decided to get married again.. Edward's son, Edgar, would have been next in importance as another person in line for the English throne.

Notes for Agatha (Spouse 1)
Hallo,
in surch of some historical fragments I found your homepage with hints of Eduard Aetheling and his wife Agatha. But please let me correcting you: Agatha was not a Braunschweig or Brunswick, she was the daugther of Steven 1st of Hungary and his wife Giselle of Bavaria. Her brother was Imre (Emmerich) the saint.
In Hungary it´s well known, that Agatha of Hungary (Ágota) was married to Eduard Aetheling.
Greetings from Germany
