Edmund Mučenik
Edmund Mučenik engleski: Edmund the Martyr; staroengleski: Eadmund, ēad, "blagostanje", "bogatstvo"; i mund, "zaštitnik"); također poznat i kao Sveti Edmund ili Edmund od Istočne Anglije (? - 20. novembar 869) bio je kralj Istočne Anglije od oko 855. do smrti 869. O njegovom životu i vladavini se ne zna gotovo ništa, a jedini izvori iz njegovog doba jesu par oskudnih zapisa u Angosaksonskoj kronici i numizmatički artefakti. Takav je slučaj i s brojnim drugim istočnoanglijskim vladarima, što se tumači vikinškim pljačkaškim pohodima na Istočnu Angliju u kojoj su poharani tamošnji samostani i spaljene službene kronike i dokumenti. Sam Edmund je poginuo u borbi protiv Vikinga, najvjerojatnije protiv tzv. Velike poganske armije koja je pustošila istok Engleske nastojeći osvetiti smrt Ragnara Lodbroka. Edmundovu smrt je, pak, krajem 10. vijeka opisao Abbo od Fleuryja u hagiografiji za račun Opatije Ramsey, nakon čega je stekao status mučenika i sveca.
