Anglo-Saxon king with the epithet 'the Confessor' (6)

I believe the answer is:

edward

(Other definitions for edward that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "The eighth one abdicated" , "Mans name" , "-- Scissorhands" , "Name Lambert Simnel took when crowned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
