	AEthelred, king of England. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		He was a weak king, but his efforts to resist the Danes, who resumed their raids on England in 980, were also considerably hampered by the frequent treachery of his commanders.
		A massacre of Danes in England in 1002 (possibly on the king’s orders) provoked another major raid (1003) led by the Danish king Sweyn.
		A severe harrying (1009–12) by the Danes left England disorganized, and when the Danish king Sweyn returned in 1013 to conquer, he was well received in the Danelaw, and London capitulated with little resistance.

		Aethelred is known by the epithet "the Unread", a term coined by a monk in the thirteenth century and subsequently mistranslated as "the unready".
		In 1002 Aethelred married Emma, daughter of Richard I of Normandy, thereby establishing the dynastic link that helped establish the pretext for the conquest of England by William of Normandy in 1066.
		Sweyn's death in the following year gave Aethelred another chance, but he was still slow to seize his opportunity and it was his son by his first marriage, Edmund, who did most to fight and repel Sweyn's successor, Cnut.

	BBC - h2g2 - Æthelred II the Unready - King of England
		II was King of England from 978-1016, and is known as Æthelred the Unready.
		In 1002, Æthelweard, Ealdorman of Southwest England, died, yet the title of Ealdorman was not passed on and the area was being governed by shire-reeves alone.
		The raids on England had royal support and it is likely that Harold considered it wise to help Cnut's ambitions regarding England rather than risk Cnut turning his attentions to the throne of Denmark.

	[No title]
		The early days of Edward and his brother Alfred were spent in Normandy, at the court of their uncle, Richard the Good; for they had been carried there by Emma at the time of Sweyn's success in 1013, and did not return to their native land on their mother's marriage with Canute (1017).
		It is uncertain whether Edward had any share in the invasion of England that led to Alfred's death in 1036; but Robert the Devil seems to have made at least one effort for the restoration of his cousins a few years before this date.
		But Harold and Tostig united their forces for the purpose of harrying his land; the English soldiers were bidden to adopt the arms and tactics of the Welsh, and before the year 1063 was out Gruffydd was dead, and his kingdom divided between two native princes, who swore fealty to Edward.

		Aethelred began his reign under a cloud of suspicion because fo the mureder of Edward.
		Aethelred tried to defend his kingdom: in 1002 he married Emma, sister of Richard II, Duke of Normandy, perhaps in an attemptto gain an ally; in 1007 the army was placed under a single commander; by 1009 a navy had been built, but many of its commanders took to piracy.
