On this day, 4 September 925, Athelstan's coronation took place at Kingston upon Thames, perhaps due to its symbolic location on the border between Wessex and Mercia. He was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Athelm, and it is believed that he organised a new ordo (religious order of service) in which the king wore a crown for the first time instead of a helmet.

When Edward died in July 924, Athelstan was immediately accepted by the Mercians as king. Possibly as he had been educated in Mercia by his aunt Lady Aethelflaed and he was also the favourite of his grandfather, King Alfred The Great. However, his half-brother Ælfweard may have been recognised as king in Wessex, but died within three weeks of their father's death. Athelstan encountered resistance in Wessex for several months, which is why he was not crowned until September 925.
