THE MURDER OF EDWARD THE MARTYR 978
The most well known event of Edwards reign is the event that led to him being known as King Edward the
Martyr. Edward was murdered on 18 March 978 while he was visiting Queen Aelfrthrth and Aethelred at
Corfe Castle. As Edward arrived at the castle and dismounted his horse, he was assaulted by advisers of
Aethelred and stabbed to death. Many believed that Queen Aelfrthrth was somehow implicated in the plan to
murder Edward, largely because she had always pushed for Aethelreds claim to the throne, and he did
become the king following Edwards murder
