    Harold II has the smallest gap. I know this because Harold II has a number gap of 10 months. Alfred has the biggest number gap. I know this because Alfred has a gap of 28 and it’s the biggest of all.
    silver
    Harold II had the smallest gap because it has the gap of 10 months and all the other people have years not months. Edwy has the second last gap because it is a gap of 3 years and all the other numbers are bigger than 3 years. Ethelwulf is third last because he has a gap of 17 years and nobody else has a gap of 17 or under. Edward III has the fourth last because he has a gap of 24 and nobody has a smaller gap. Edward the elder is the fifth last because he has a gap of 25 and nobody has a smaller number. Alfred has the biggest number because he has a huge number of 28 and nobody else has a bigger number.
    Gold
    Edwy is Alfred’s son because he only has a gap of 3 and that is a son size.

    I think it goes like this 📍
    • Alfred – 871 – 899
    I notice that was the smallest and came first because it has the smallest hundred and ten.

    •Harold I I – January 1066 – October 1066
    This one has bigger numbers than the other numbers .

    I think it goes like this 📍
    • Harold I I

    • Edward I I I

    • edwy

    •Edward the elder

    • Alfred the great

    • Ethelwulf

    Gold :
    I think it is this 📍
    I think Alfred the great son is Ethelwulf because on the chart on his line it says 839 and that is why I have got it .

    Today I have learnt a lot I have done it all by my self I’m so proud of my self xxx
