Osbert of Clare wrote a biography of this ruler, whose chief advisor was Robert of Jumieges. This ruler put down rioters in Dover who resisted his brother-in-law Eustace of Boulogne, and he seized the property of his mother Emma after coming to power. He sent an expedition under Siward the Fat to punish the Scottish king Macbeth for harboring exiles loyal to the father of his wife Edith, Godwin. The builder of Westminster Abbey, he took the throne after the death of his half-brother Harthecanute. For 10 points, identify this son of Aethelred the Unready and last ruler of the House of Wessex, a famously pious King of England who was canonized in 1161.
