Put Edmund the Martyr on a banknote!
I petition for a banknote bearing the likeness of Edmund the Martyr, king of East Anglia and original patron saint of the English, who was slain by the Vikings in AD 869.
The history of Anglo-Saxon England is a neglected subject in today's Britain, and having a banknote depicting one of its most famous Kings would be an excellent way to make it more familiar to the general public.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
