Edward (870s–17 July 924), known as Edward the Elder to distinguish him from others of the same name, was the second surviving child and elder son of King Alfred the Great of Wessex. Edward became King of Wessex on the death of his father in 899 but faced opposition from Æthelwold, son of Alfred's elder brother Æthelred.
