BIOGRAPHY
Aethelred was the son of Edgar 'the Peaceful', king of England, and Elfrida. According to St. Dunstan his life began with an ill omen, for at his baptism he made water in the font. From this Dunstan predicted the slaughter of the English people that would take place in Aethelred's time. With his first wife Elgiva, daughter of Thored, ealdorman of Northumbria, he had at least eleven children of whom three would have progeny, including his son and successor Edmund Ironside.

Aethelred became king after the murder of his elder brother Edward. Though not as capable as his predecessors, he reigned longer than any of them. However his kingdom was eventually dismembered by his son Edmund Ironside and Knud 'den Store'

His derogatory nickname, coined in the twelfth century, is merely a pun on his name, meaning 'noble counsel'. The early years (973-983) were dominated by his mother. His personal rule over the period from 983 until 993 was oppressive. Unfortunately the Viking assaults starting in 988 were of a ferocity unmatched since Alfred's day, and Aethelred could do little but negotiate temporary respites and massive tributes, which encouraged further attacks.

He tried to combat the Vikings by diplomacy, notably by taking as his second wife Emma of Normandy, daughter of Richard I 'the Fearless', duke of Normandy, and raising a fleet and large armies. In 1000 he led an expedition to Strathclyde to disrupt the Viking settlements around the Irish Sea.

On 13 November 1002, St. Brice's Day, he ordered all the Danish men who were in England to be slain, because he had been informed that they would treacherously kill him and all his councillors, and take possession of the kingdom. Aethelred's reward for this was the wrath of King Svend II 'Forkbeard' of Denmark whose sister had been a victim of the massacre.

King Svend and his son Knud 'den Store' began conquering territory. Their unexpected attacks in southern and midland England destroyed the morale of king and country, and so disillusioned the nobility that Aethelred could no longer trust them. When Svend was chosen king in 1013 Aethelred fled; after Svend had died Aethelred returned in 1014, promising better rule.

However, when Aethelred failed to reassert control, his son Edmund made himself independent ruler in the Danelaw, which in turn was taken by Knud. This assisted the collapse of the kingdom of Aethelred, who died in 1016. He was succeeded by Edmund.
