[PAR] [TLE] Edward the Elder [SEP] Edward the Elder (Old English: "Eadweard cyning "; c. 874 – 17 July 924) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 899 until his death.  He became king in 899 upon the death of his father, Alfred the Great.  He captured the eastern Midlands and East Anglia from the Danes in 917 and became ruler of Mercia in 918 upon the death of Æthelflæd, his sister. [PAR] [TLE] Battle of Tempsford [SEP] In 917, the group of Danes who had previously been based in Huntingdon relocated to Tempsford, together with other Danes from East Anglia.  They built and fortified a new "burh" there, to serve as a forward base for attacks on English territory.  Later that year, after launching an unsuccessful attack on Bedford, they were attacked by an English army led by King Edward the Elder, as part of his widespread offensive which in that year overwhelmed the Danish territories in East Anglia and south-eastern Mercia.  The "burh" was stormed and a Danish king, probably that of East Anglia, was killed, along with the Jarls Toglos and Manna and many of their followers, while the rest were captured.
