#Edwig #Kings
Video Source
In those days, 15 was an adult, who was being raised from birth to become king. He was a man, not a child.
Just sayin'.
The story of this kid reminds me of the king lion in the animated Robin Hood
72nd
There's no doubt he was a bad king! Really? Church recorded history isn't enough to say that and I'd say he just didn't want to listen to the church so they got rid of him and tarred his image.
Many rulers came to power, some much more power than Edwig and many of those didn't act badly or like a kid in a candy shop. After all back then childhood didn't really exist and children were less inclined than today to act like kids and would often do the right thing.
Using history as written by the church to tell the story of when a Saint basically murdered a king, probably for power and money possibly isn't the most trustable source. Its not surprising a king killed in such a way is recorded by the Church as a bad king who needed to die and that the death was recorded as it was.
Seems obvious to me. Edwig wouldn't listen to the church while they thought they could control his brother. However that came back to bite them hard…
