Edmund "Ed" Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' series. He is a principal character in three of the seven books (''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', ''Prince Caspian'', and ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader''), and a lesser character in two others (''The Horse and His Boy'' and ''The Last Battle''). In the live-action films, ''The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'', ''Prince Caspian'' and ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'', Edmund is portrayed by actor Skandar Keynes. Actor Mark Wells portrays an older Edmund at the end of the first film. In ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', Edmund betrays his siblings to the White Witch while under her influence, but as the story goes on, he accepts the error of his ways. He is redeemed with the intervention of Aslan and joins the fight against the witch. Fulfilling an ancient prophecy, he becomes King Edmund the Just, King of Narnia, and with sisters Susan and Lucy, co-ruler under High King Peter. Edmund is described in one book in a scene in Tashbaan as being part of a group of men 'as fair-skinned as (), and most of them had fair hair',〔Lewis, C.S., "The Horse and His Boy", p. 61〕 although whether Edmund is one of the fair-haired ones is not clear. Certainly in the illustrations of him in the final book 〔Lewis, C.S., "The Last Battle" p.134〕 he is drawn as having fair hair. ==Name== Edmund (from Anglo-Saxon, Eadmund, derived from words meaning ''wealth'' and ''protection'') is a male given name. Pevensie takes perhaps after Pevensey, on the southeast coast of England, which is the site of a medieval castle that figures importantly in British history at several points—primarily, indeed, as the site where Duke William of Normandy (William the Conqueror) arrived in England during the Norman invasion in 1066; He would go on to become the King of the English after his decisive 1066 victory over Harold II Godwinson in the Battle of Hastings. In Rudyard Kipling's ''Puck of Pook's Hill'' (1907) at least one of the characters refers to Pevensey as "England's Gate", which the celebrated wardrobe in Lewis's books quite literally becomes. The surname "Pevensie" does not actually appear in the Chronicles until the third published book, ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmund Pevensie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
