Edith
Edith is Harold’s common law wife; they were hand fasted per Danish wedding traditions, but were not married in a church. She is the beauty of her age, and she efficiently wields the power that her beauty has on men. She is ferociously intelligent and serves as Harold’s most trusted advisor. As Edith becomes a mother, her desire for Harold to protect their family and not focus on the throne becomes as consuming as his desire to seize it.
