Edmund Ironside, also known as Edmund II, was a formidable Anglo-Saxon king who ruled England from 1016 until his death in battle against Canute the Great in 1016. This famous leader is depicted in numerous historical works and art pieces, including engravings and lithographs, such as 'A Famous Duel. A.D. 1013' and 'Combat between Edmund Ironside and Canute the Great.' These illustrations capture the intensity of their meeting on the Isle of Alney, where Edmund bravely faced Canute in single combat. Edmund, whose surname translates to 'Iron Side,' was known for his strength and resilience, making him a symbol of Anglo-Saxon courage and determination. Other depictions of Edmund, such as the 1786 portrait by Francesco Bartolozzi and the 18th-century engraving by Charles Grignion, further highlight his regal presence and warrior spirit. Even ancient coins bear his image, showcasing his historical significance. Despite his tragic end, Edmund Ironside remains an enduring figure in English history.
