Note	Eadgar, called The Peaceful (944-75), Saxon king of the English (959-75), Younger son of King Eadmund I. In 957, during the rule of his Brother, King Edwy (940?-59), Eadgar was chosen by the Mercians and Northumbrians to be their sovereign. One of his first acts was to recall the monastic reformer St. Dunstan, whom Edwy had exiled; Eadgar subsequently made Dunstan Bishop of Worcester and London and Archbishop of Canterbury. In 959 Eadgar succeeded to the entire English Kingdom. His reign was notable for the establishment of national consolidation, reformation of the clergy, improvement of the judiciary system, and formation of a fleet to defend the coast against the Scandinavian Vikings.
