About the 13. year of this kings reign, the said King Edward sent Aldred bishop of Worcester to the Emperor Henricus the 4. praying him, that he would send to the king of Hungary, that his cousin Edward son of Edmund Ironside, might come to England: for so much as he intended to make him King after him, which was called Edward outlaw. The which request was fulfilled, so that he came into England with his wife Agatha,1 and with his children, to wit, Edgar Adeling, Margaret, and Christina. But the year after his return into the realm, this Edward deceased at London,2 and was buried at westminster: or as Jornalensis sayeth, at Pauls church in London. After whose decease, the King then received Edgar Adeling his son, as his own child: thinking to make him his heir. But fearing partly the unconstant mutability of the Englishmen, partly the pride and malice of Harold the son of Godwin, & of other (perceiving thereby, that he could not bring that his purpose so well to pass) directed solemn Ambassadors unto William Duke of Normandy,3 his kinsman: admitting & assigning him to be his lawful heir, next to succeed after him to the crown.
