Why was the king Edward an uneasy king

First, because Edward never wanted to be king and accepted the crown unwillingly when it was offered
to him in 1041/42. Second, that Edward, who famously fathered no children, repeatedly dangled the
crown before multiple contenders, thereby storing up the trouble that ultimately engulfed him and his
subjects. Third, that the king was ruled by his in-laws, the family of Earl Godwine.

Edward can also be seen as a weak and indecisive and sometimes violent leader whose failure to leave
an heir led to the Norman invasion of Britain and the end of Saxon rule. Having spent so long in Norman
France he was heavily influenced by Norman advisors who he appointed to positions of power at court
and within the church. This annoyed the Saxon earls and put him into conflict with the powerful Earl
Godwin. Towards the end of Edward’s reign the Godwins were effectively running the country. Edward
preferred to spend money on religion rather than defence of the realm and so left the country
vulnerable to invasion.Roman Britain was the territory that became the Roman province of Britannia
after the Roman conquest of Britain, consisting of a large part of the island of Great Britain. The
occupation lasted from AD 43 to AD 410.[1][2

Anglo-Saxon Structure before 600

Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 and 54 BC as part of his Gallic Wars.[3] According to Caesar, the
Britons had been overrun or culturally assimilated by the Belgae during the British Iron Age and had
been aiding Caesar's enemies. The Belgae were the only Celtic tribe to cross the sea into Britain, for to
all other Celtic tribes this land was unknown. [4] He received tribute, installed the friendly king
Mandubracius over the Trinovantes, and returned to Gaul. Planned invasions under Augustus were
called off in 34, 27, and 25 BC. In 40 AD, Caligula assembled 200,000 men at the Channel on the
continent, only to have them gather seashells (musculi) according to Suetonius, perhaps as a symbolic
gesture to proclaim Caligula's victory over the sea.[5] Three years later, Claudius directed four legions to
invade Britain and restore the exiled king Verica over the Atrebates.[6] The Romans defeated the
Catuvellauni, and then organized their conquests as the province of Britain. By 47 AD, the Romans held
the lands southeast of the Fosse Way. Control over Wales was delayed by reverses and the effects of
Boudica's uprising, but the Romans expanded steadily northward
