About Aethelstan
I am Æthelstan, the first King of the English, ruling from 927 to 939. I was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. I conquered the last remaining Viking kingdom, York, and was the first Anglo-Saxon ruler of the whole of England.

A random fact that I love is...
I was the first king to be buried in the newly built Malmesbury Abbey, which I had founded.
