Saint Edward the Confessor (†1066) was the first Anglo-Saxon and the only king of England to be canonized. He was one of England's national saints until King Edward III adopted Saint George as the national patron saint in about 1350. About a century after his death, in 1161, Pope Alexander III canonized the late king. His remains lay in the shrine of Saint Edward the Confessor in Westminster Abbey. Saint Edward's feast day is October 13, celebrated by both the Church of England and the Catholic Church in England and Wales and he is regarded as a patron saint of difficult marriages.

Round glass-fronted reliquary theca dating to 1928 housing first-class ex ossibus (from the bone) relics of Saint Edward the Confessor. The relics are affixed to a gold silk background and identified on a typographic cedula as S. Eduardi Regis (Saint Edward, King). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is protected by a seal of red wax with a perfectly preserved imprint of a coat of arms of cardinal Basilio Pompilj (†1931), the Vicar General of the Vatican (1913-1931).
