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.
