If Edward the Confessor had actually rewarded those subordinate to Earl Godwin and thus prevented him and his sons from coming back and effectively taking control of the kingdom and secured the succession of Edgar, what would Edgar's rule have been like? This is assuming that his father, Edward died due to anything other than Harold Godwinson's machinations. I personally think he would have been an excellent King as in OTL he was recorded as being a great speaker and a skilled diplomat and military commander.
So this thread is about how England would have done under 60+ years of Edgar with the Godwins either in exile or certainly not the power behind the throne.
