Aethelred the Unready (Aelthelred without councel); Ethelred II
ATHELRED II, son of EDGAR THE MARTYR and AELFRTHYTH, was King of England (978-1016), called AEthelred the Unready [Old Eng., = without councel]. He was the son of Edgar, and the half brother and
successor of Edward the Martyr. A weak king, he reigned
at the height of Danish power. Although he began paying tribute through the Danegeld to the Danes in 991, they returned in 997 to plunder his realm, staying until 1000. In 1002 AEthelred married
Emma, sister of the duke of Normandy,possibly hoping to
gain an ally. Although by 1009 a navy existed, the treason of its commanders rendered it useless. In 1013 the Danish king Sweyn returned to ocnquer; he was well received in the Danelaw and London
capitulated. AEthelred fled to Normandy but was
restored in 1014 on Sweyn's death. In 1016, AEthelred's son Edmund Ironside succeeded him, made a treaty with Canute, son of Sweyn and died. Canute succeeded him and married AEthelred's widow. -
