Edward the Confessor, the son of Aethelred II and Emma, grew up an exile at the Norman court and was more inclined to the life of a monk rather than a king. The English nobility headed by Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, invited him to assume the throne because they feared Magnus the Good of Norway would assert his claim at the head of a Viking fleet. The pennies of Edward’s long and troubled reign carry an imaginative range of types.
