Conceerning English Kings. In the House of Wessex there were two kings named Edward: Edward the Elder (899-925) and Edward the Martyr (975-978). Why is Edward Longshanks (1272-1304) called Edward I and not Edward III? |

This is because the generally used system of numbering begins from William I (The Conqueror) and the Norman kings. Otherwise Edward Plantagenet would be Edward IV as you have left out Edward the Confessor. |
