In 959 the young king Edwig died suddenly, leaving his younger brother as his only heir. But the succession was not automatic, as the country was still not stable and there were many who would prefer to see someone more experienced on the throne. At the witenagenamot two older earls were brought up as candidates to the throne, Athelstan Half-King's son Athelwald, and Edric of Washington.
Meanwhile, Jarnkne was ruling in York, and the Danes in the east were becoming increasing difficult to control.
