Real World Background

As depicted in the Gargoyles comic, Edmund supported his uncle Donalbain in the war with Donnchad after Malcolm Canmore's death.

After Edgar overthrew Donalbain in 1097, Edmund was briefly imprisoned, but was later freed, and entered a monastery (technically, a priory) at Montacute in Somerset. (He reportedly requested to be buried in chains upon his passing, as penance for helping to bring about his half-brother's death.)
