	History of the Monarchy > The Anglo-Saxon kings > Ethelred II
		Ethelred, the younger son of Edgar, became king at the age of seven following the murder of his half-brother Edward II in 978 at Corfe Castle, Dorset, by Edward's own supporters.
		For the rest of Ethelred's rule (reigned 978-1016), his brother became a posthumous rallying point for political unrest; a hostile Church transformed Edward into a royal martyr.
		Not being an able soldier, Ethelred defended the country against increasingly rapacious Viking raids from the 980s onwards by diplomatic alliance with the duke of Normandy in 991 (he later married the duke's daughter Emma) and by buying off renewed attacks by the Danes with money levied through a tax called the Danegeld.

	The Isle of Influence - England
		When Ethelred died in 1016, his son, Edmund Ironside, was defeated by Sweyn's son, Canute II, and all of England came under Danish rule in a combined kingdom consisting of Denmark, England and Norway.
		The history of England from the time of the Norman invasion till the final union with Scotland in 1707, which created the "United Kingdom", was one of gradual technological and cultural development, combined with a series of foreign and domestic wars, with the only major population shifts being between the mainland of France and England.
		In 1707, England and Scotland were finally formally united by an Act of Union: this was done to prevent the possibility of a Scottish Catholic ever becoming king or queen, with preference being given to the closest Protestant family members: who were in Germany.

		He imposed crippling taxes which soon alienated those who had solicited his return and, in the words of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, "never did anything worthy of a King while he reigned." Hardicanute's reign was even shorter than his brother's (1040-42).
