  • The obverse and reverse of an Edmund memorial coin. Although some of the moneyers' names that appear on these coins are Anglo-Saxon, many more are foreign. The names suggest that there was a significant influx of Continental emigration into Anglo-Scandinavian-controlled regions.ref|The moneyer of this particular coin was a man named Hlodovicus–whose name is inscribed on the reverse–which could be evidence that he was a Frank. The coins that bear Edmund's name, the so-called St Edmund memorial coinage, are the earliest evidence of a religious cult devoted to the king. There is reason to suspect that the cult was advanced by later Anglo-Scandinavians as a way to retain authority in East Anglia, as a way to repent for his death at the hands of their Viking predecessors. It is also possible that the cult was originally promoted as a way the surviving East Anglian aristocracy attempted to oppose Anglo-Scandinavian overlordship, and that the Anglo-Scandinavian regime thereafter adopted the cult and capitalised upon it. Conversely, it is possible that the cult was originally more focused upon Edmund's royal standing than his death, and only acquired anti-Anglo-Scandinavian connotations in a later period. In any case, the memorial coinage seems to have been minted under the auspices of the Anglo-Scandinavian leadership, and his cult certainly spread into the Scandinavia later in the Middle Ages.|group=note (en)

dbp:quote
  • Boys, and men old and young, whom he encountered in the streets of the city were killed; and he paid no respect to the chastity of wife or maid. Husband and wife lay dead or dying together on their thresholds; the babe snatched from its mother's breast was, in order to multiply the cries of grief, slaughtered before her eyes. An impious soldiery scoured the town in fury, athirst for every crime by which pleasure could be given to the tyrant who from sheer love of cruelty had given orders for the massacre of the innocent.
