The king himself died in 955, and was succeeded by his nephew Eadwig.
In 959 Eadwig died, and Eadgar became king south of the Thames.
The churchmen declared her to be no true wife of the king, and treated the royal pair with such insult that Eadwig grew furious.
Soon after the accession of Eadwig, in 956, Dunstan incurred the wrath of a powerful enemy.
In 959 Eadwig died, and Eadgar succeeded to the whole kingdom.
