!!Edmund
->'''Portrayed By:''' Uncredited
Edward's son by Eadgifu. He would eventually succeed his elder half-brother Æthelstan as King of the English, continuing the bloodline that all English monarchs today descend from.

* UnexpectedSuccessor: [[spoiler:His succession to the throne was contingent on Æthelstan producing an heir. Since Æthelstan agreed to Uhtred's conditions to never marry or produce a successor for Northumbria (and [[ClosetGay probably never intended to do so anyway]]), this guaranteed Edmund would be able to become King without having to fight through a power vacuum like his elder half-brother did.]]
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: His role in the story is minimal at best, since he's but a very small child when the story ends, but he would eventually become Edmund, King of the English.
