      The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle calls him "the deed-doer"; Florence of Worcester
      calls him "Edmundus magnificus"; "buried at Glastonbury, an abbey which he had
      entrusted in 943 to the famous Dunstan" {-Encycl.Brit., 1956 Ed., 7:962}. He
      reigned 940-946. He regained northern England and Strathclyde from the
      Vikings and gave Strathclyde to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, King of Scots.
      Edmund I is known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the
      "blood feud." An outlaw, Leolf, stabbed him at a banquet to St. Augustine.
