Cultural depictions of Edgar the Ætheling
Edgar the Ætheling was the Anglo-Saxon challenger to William the Conqueror for the throne of England after the death of Harold II. He has been depicted sporadically in British culture. In Charles Kingsley's novel Hereward the Wake he appears as a teenager: "a fair lad, with long straw-colored hair, and soft blue eyes staring into vacancy" who is almost killed by Herward by mistake. Edgar was portrayed by Julian Sands in the 1990 TV drama Blood Royal: William the Conqueror.
