Edmund Pevensie

Edmund "Ed" Pevensie (b.1930-d.1949) was the third of the Pevensie children, and after his younger sister, Lucy second to enter the magical world of Narnia. He was mischievious and rather rude at first, but changed largely after he was forgiven for betraying his brother and sisters. Even when he was bratty, he still had a kind streak in him, getting upset when a fox was turned to stone by the white witch. He later becomes more serious and just. He was later given the Narnian title, King Edmund the Just, Duke of Lantern Waste and Count of the Western March, and Knight of the Noble Order of the Table (reign: 1000–1015). In the films Edmund is portrayed by Skandar Keynes.

First Visit and his Royal Crowning
Upon first arriving in Narnia during the Age of Winter, Edmund encountered the White Witch, the so-called "Queen of Narnia", who fed him his favorite sweet, Turkish Delight, in return for him bringing his other siblings to Narnia. However, the Witch had a hidden agenda to kill all four Pevensie children who she believed were part of prophecy that would bring about her own demise if fulfilled.

When the four Pevensies all finally entered Narnia, after meeting the Beavers, Edmund quietly slipped away from the group to reunite with the White Witch, expecting a payment of Turkish Delight for his treacherous deeds. Instead, she was angered that he had not brought his brother and sisters to her palace. In the search for the others, she turned a group of animals into stone which enlightened Edmund to how evil the Witch truly was. After suddenly being bound and nearly executed by the Witch, Edmund was freed from her by a rescue party. After he was forgiven by his siblings and met Aslan, Narnia's guardian, Edmund was then proclaimed by the White Witch to still be under her possession and that he would be returned to her and executed. Aslan was able to peacefully talk with the Witch to exchange his own life for Edmund's. However the witch remained unable to interpret the true meaning of the old magic.

"When a willing victim who has committed no treachery is killed in a traitors stead, the stone table will crack, and even death itself would turn backwards." -Aslan

Meanwhile, Edmund was named a commander at the Battle of Beruna against the Witch's forces. He even confronted her on the battlefield, An act that proved his bravery and sealed his redemption in the eyes of Aslan. Edmund was able to slash the end of her wand to pieces, rendering it powerless -- yet the severed wand became a new weapon. The Witch fiercely plunged the sharp, broken tip into Edmund's chest and he fell, mortally wounded, to the ground. Fortunately, Aslan arrived with a reinforcement army and killed the Witch, quickly enough to allow the battle to end within a few moments. Lucy then ran to her dying brother and Edmund was saved by her magical healing cordial.

After the battle, Edmund was completely redeemed of his traitorous ways and named King Edmund the Just by Aslan himself. Edmund ruled Narnia alongside his sisters, just under his brother the High King Peter. Years later, Edmund and the three others returned to their own Earth where they would remain for a year before visiting Narnia a second time. "To the great western wood, King Edmund the Just"

Second Visit and the King Caspian
The Pevensies were transported back to Narnia by Prince caspian, who used Susan's horn to call them back. Upon returning, they were fetched by the Red Dwarf, Trumpkin and told of the plight of teenaged King Caspian who was trying to ascend to his rightful throne in Narnia which had been usurped by his own uncle Miraz.

The Pevensies and Trumpkin arrived at Aslan's How, the temporary camp of Caspian's Army, just in time to prevent Caspian's assassination.

After the Second Battle of Beruna, Edmund and his siblings were sent back to their Earth before Caspian's official coronation. Before Peter, whilst under the witch's spell, was about to set her free Edmund smashed her in peices

Third Visit and the Dawn Treader
Edmund returned a third time to Narnia through a painting of a ship, the Dawn Treader, which acted as a portal to the World of Narnia. From there, Edmund and his sister Lucy, and their cousin, Eustace, were pulled aboard the Dawn Treader where Edmund was reunited with his good friend, Caspian X, and where he continued with the ships' journey to the Silver Sea. Edmund then travels to the very end of the world were he gets a glimpse of what Aslan's Country looks like. Edmund then meets a lamb who tells him and his sister Lucy that they could not return being that they are too old.

Aslan's Country
He then comes to Aslan's Country (In our world Aslan's Country would be called Heaven). Here Edmund finds he can run faster than a speeding arrow, and even run so fast that it almost seems as if he were flying. This also was an effect to everyone else who came to Aslan's Country.

Saving Peter
In Prince Caspian,a werewolf and a hag attempt to bring their mistress, the white witch, back to life though sorcery. During the spell, The White Witch had conviced Peter to bring her back from the dead by obtaining a drop of his blood, for a son of Adam or daughter of Eve's blood was the only thing she needed in order to return. Edmund struck her down before this was accomplished.
