Could Edgar gain or recover the throne of England ?
In 1066, when his great-uncle Edward the Confessor died, Edgar was 15.
Let's say Edward names his great-nephew before he died heir to throne. Yes there was his age, but there were precedents in Anglo-Saxon history :
1. Eadwig of England became King aged 15
2. Edgar the Peaceful became king aged 19
3.Edward the Martyr became King aged 13
4. Aethelred the Unready became King aged 10 !
If Edward the Confessor names a clear heir, Saxon nobles will accept him at least if the heir is a Saxon ( just like the French barons in 1328). So maybe this can butterfly the Norman conquest ? Plus, maybe could Harold usurp the throne and then Edgar calls the Norman's help (just like in Sicily) and reward them with land, so we will assist to a mini-Norman Conquest.
Anyways do you guys have any thoughts ?
