Edgar

Edgar is a commonly used English given name, from an Anglo-Saxon name Eadgar (composed of ead "rich, prosperous" and gar "spear").

Like most Anglo-Saxon names, it fell out of use by the later medieval period; it was, however, revived in the 18th century, and was popularised by its use for a character in Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor (1819).

King Lear

King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It depicts the gradual descent into madness of the title character, after he disposes of his kingdom giving bequests to two of his three daughters based on their flattery of him, bringing tragic consequences for all. Derived from the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king, the play has been widely adapted for the stage and motion pictures, with the title role coveted by many of the world's most accomplished actors.

Originally drafted in 1605 or 1606, with its first known performance on St. Stephen's Day in 1606, the first attribution to Shakespeare was a 1608 publication in a quarto of uncertain provenance; it may be an early draft or simply reflect the first performance text. The Tragedy of King Lear, a more theatrical revision, was included in the 1623 First Folio. Modern editors usually conflate the two, though some insist that each version has its own individual integrity that should be preserved.

Edgar of Hereford

Edgar (or Eadgar; died c. 930) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford. He was consecrated in between 888 and 890 and died between 930 and 931.

Bewitched (Swedish band)

Bewitched is a Swedish retro thrash band with black metal elements.

In 1995 they recorded a demo named Hellspell. Shortly after this, Wrathyr (Naglfar, Setherial, Midvinter) joined the band.

In August 1995, without any backup from a record-label, Bewitched visited the Umeå-based UMT-studio for the recording of the debut, Diabolical Desecration. After three days of recording, the album was finished. It was sent out to record-labels and eventually a contract was signed with Osmose Productions.

Diabolical Descecration touring Europe

Diabolical Desecration was released in March 1996. In June, Bewitched hit the road with Ancient Rites, Sacramentum and Deboned to promote the release. During three weeks they played venues in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands.

At the same time as the tour started, a new record was released. With the title Encyclopedia of Evil, it is a tribute to the bands who influenced Bewitched's sound on the Diabolical Desecration album.
