Edward the Confessor
/ˌedwəd ðə kənˈfesə(r)/
/ˌedwərd ðə kənˈfesər/
- (c. 1003-66) the king of England from 1042 to 1066, a son of Ethelred the Unready. He was considered a very holy man, and in 1161 the Pope made him a saint and gave him the title of 'Confessor'. However, he does not seem to have been very interested in government, and there was great confusion when he died over who had been promised the throne of England. His brother-in-law Harold Godwin became king, but was soon removed by William of Normandy in the Norman Conquest of 1066.
悔者爱德华（Edward the Confessor）：（c。1003-66）1042至1066年的英格兰国王，未成年的埃瑟尔之子。他被认为是一个非常圣洁的人，在1161年，教皇任命他为圣徒，并授予他“ Conf悔者”的头衔。但是，他似乎对政府并不十分感兴趣，当他死于应许英国王位的人时，他感到非常困惑。他的岳母哈罗德·戈德温（Harold Godwin）成为国王，但很快在1066年的诺曼征服中被诺曼底的威廉（William of Normandy）罢免。
