It points out that Edward regarded the throne as a birthright that he strived for and obtained. It talks about the decades spent awaiting Edward's inheritance that translated into a conscientious ethic of service. The chapter explains Edward's preference for peace for himself and his neighbors, which is an indication of how suffering left him with little appetite for harshness and with a need to cling to favourites. It mentions the innovative systems he implemented for defending the coast and the Welsh march as well as the work he has done for the military and spiritual safeguarding of his subjects. It also looks into Edward's response to reform the papacy with practical initiatives.","PeriodicalId":393927,"journal":{"name":"Edward the Confessor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126736442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains how Edward had to contend with the developing threats from Flanders to the east and Gruffudd ap Rhydderch to the west. It also talks about Edward's installation of his own candidates in the archbishoprics in several important offices, which collided with other powerful agents who sought to install theirs. The chapter analyzes how Edward had to raise his political game to become a European player abroad and how he had to integrate newcomers into a small and jealous circle of lords without somehow upsetting the balance. It also assesses how Edward would negotiate the first rebellion of his reign.","PeriodicalId":393927,"journal":{"name":"Edward the Confessor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124178357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also talks about the creation of a liturgy after the coronation ceremony was Christianized and made into a rite of the Church, in which the transformative moment was accompanied with the holy oil or chrism. The chapter confirms that Edward was crowned during Easter Day in 1043. It emphasizes that no previous king is known to have linked himself to Christ the same way as Edward did, superimposing the drama of kingmaking on the mystery of the Resurrection.","PeriodicalId":393927,"journal":{"name":"Edward the Confessor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125803895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also looks into Edward's decision to re-found Westminster abbey because it occupied a delightful spot near Westminster and lay near the main channel of the river. The chapter analyzes the work on Westminster as a way to improve Edward's secular residence, which is seen as a possible distraction from the spiritual edifice that manifested Edward's piety.

The chapter looks at how Edward contemplated his state of deprivation and dwelled on the comforts he had lost.
