Notes:

Ethelred II (Old English: Æþelred) (c. 968 - April 23, 1016), known as the Unready, was a King of England (978 - 1013 and 1014 - 1016).
According to William of Malmesbury, Ethelred defecated in the baptismal font as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarchy would be overthrown during Ethelred's reign. This story is, however, almost certainly a fabrication.
Ethelred succeeded to the throne aged about 10 following the death of his father King Edgar and subsequent murder of his half-brother Edward the Martyr. His nickname "The Unready" does not mean that he was ill-prepared, but derives from the Anglo-Saxon unræd meaning without counsel. This is also a pun on his name, Æþelræd, which means "Well advised".
Ethelred had at least sixteen children from two marriages, the first to Ælfgifu, the daughter of Thored, the ealdorman of Northumbria and the second, in 1002, to Emma of Normandy, whose grandnephew, William I of England, would later use this relationship as the basis of his claim on the throne.
England had experienced a long period of peace after the reconquest of the Danelaw in the first half of the 10th Century. However in 991 Ethelred was faced with a Viking fleet larger than any since Guthrum's "Summer Army" a century earlier. This fleet was led by Olaf Trygvasson, a Norwegian with ambitions to reclaim his country from under Danish domination. After initial military setbacks including the defeat of his Ealdorman Birhtnoth at the Battle of Maldon, Ethelred was able to come to terms with Olaf, who returned to Norway to gain his kingdom with mixed success. While this arrangement won him some respite England faced further depredations from Viking raids. Ethelred fought these off, but in many cases followed the practice of earlier kings including Alfred the Great in buying them off by payment of what was to become known as Danegeld.
Ethelred ordered the massacre of the Danes living in England on St Brice's Day (November 13) 1002, in response to which Sweyn Haraldsson started a series of determined campaigns to conquer England. In this he succeeded, but after his victory, he only lived for another five weeks.
In 1013, Ethelred fled to Normandy, seeking protection by his brother-in-law, Robert of Normandy, when England was over-run by Sweyn Haraldsson of Denmark and his forces. He returned in February, 1014, following the death of Sweyn Haraldsson. Ethelred died on April 23, 1016, in London, where he was buried. He was succeeded by his son, Edmund II of England.
Despite the steady stream of viking attacks, Ethelred's reign was far from the disaster described by chroniclers writing well after the event. Ethelred introduced major reforms of the machinery of government in Anglo-Saxon England, and is responsible for the introduction of Shire Reeves or Sheriffs. The quality of the coinage, always a good indicator of the prevailing economic conditions, remained very high during his reign.

!Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 Anglo-Saxon King of England from 978-1016. The fact that he was called "the Unready" does not imply that
he lacked energy or resource, but is a corruption of the Old English unraed, "bad Councel", which is in reference to his misfortunes, or that he lacked counsel. Indeed, throughout
his reign he displayed considerable vigor but it was generally misdirected.
For he was impulsive, passionate, cruel, apt to lean on favorites and guided by motives of temporary expediency. Ethelred's reign was marked by bitter military struggles. A worthless favorite, named Aethelsine, appears to have exercised considerable influence over the young King and to have led him to commit and to sanction many acts of oppression. After negotiating a treaty with Richard II, duke of Normandy (d. 1026), Ethelred married Richard's sister Emma (d. 1052). This marriage provided the basis for the subsequent Norman claim to the English throne. Although Ethelred paid tribute to the plundering Danes, Sweyn I (the Forkbeard), King of Denmark, invaded England in 1013 and proclaimed himself king. The invasion of the Danes became more pronounced during Aethelred's reign, and he was obliged to bribe the Danes. In 1014 Ethelred fled to Normandy but returned a few months later upon Sweyn's death. Sweyn's son and successor, Canute II, invaded the country a year later and, following Ethelred's death, became king of England. Aethelred also required that each shire in England should contribute to the fleet of the realm for the purpose of holding off the invaders. This act established a precedent among the English Kings.

Notes:

Edmund II Ironside (c. 989 - November 30, 1016) was King of England for several months in 1016. He was a son of King Ethelred II and Aelgifu of Northampton; Edward the Confessor was his half-brother. He was known as Ironside for his military prowess.
He was elected king of England by the population of London following his father's death in April 1016, but his rival, Canute the Great, enjoyed greater support throughout the country.
Edmund married Ealdgyth (Edith) of East Anglia (born c. 986), the daughter of Mocar and Edgitha, in 1015.
The known children of Edmund and Ealdgyth (Edith) are:
" Edward the Exile "Aetheling" (1016-1057), who was born in Wessex and died in London and who married Agatha around the year 1035.
" Edmund (born c. 1017 in Wessex).
Edmund II was eventually defeated by the Danes, and was allowed by Canute to keep the kingdom of Wessex, on the understanding that whichever of them survived the other would become ruler of the whole of England.
Shortly after making this agreement, Edmund II died, on November 30, 1016, and was buried at Glastonbury. Some say he was stabbed in the bowels while going to the privy.
Edward Athling the Exile (1016- February 1057), son of King Edmund Ironside and of Ealdgyth, gained the name of "Exile" from his life spent mostly far from the England of his forefathers. When only a few months old, he was sent by the usurper Canute to be murdered in Denmark, rather than on English soil. Instead, he was secretely brought to Kiev and then made his way to Hungary. On hearing the news of his being alive, Edward the Confessor recalled him to England and made him his heir. However, Edward the Exile died shortly after his return, causing a succession dispute that ultimately led to the Norman Conquest of England.
The paternity of his wife Agatha is debated: the medieval sources agree that she was a sister of Hungarian Queen, and disagree as to other details. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and Florence of Worcester's "Chronicon ex chronicis" describe Agatha as a blood relative of the Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor. Her rare Greek name was recently interpreted in favour of a different version, expounded by Geoffrey Gaimar and Roger of Howden, that her father was a "Russian king", i.e., Yaroslav the Wise. Their children included Edgar Ætheling and Saint Margaret of Scotland.

!Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 Saxon King of the English (1016). In 1015 Eadmund desired to marry Ealdgyth, the widow of a
Danish Earl named Sigeferth. His father did not want him to make this marriage with a Danish woman, but Eadmund married Ealdgyth none-the-less. This angered Cnut, a Danish leader, and he made war on Eadmund. This war between Cnut and Eadmund lasted over a year until the latter's death. Some authorities state that Eadmund was slain by Cnut's men, while others claim that he died a natural death. Edmund was chosen king by the people of London, but Canute II, King of Denmark, who was leading an invasion of England, secured the support of the council (witenagemot) at Southampton and of Edric (d. 1017), Ethelred's son-in-law. Edmund met the Danes in battle, winning several engagements and relieving Canute's siege of London. He was defeated at Assandun (now Ashington), however, through the treachery of Edric, who had pretended to desert Canute. A truce was arranged between Canute and Edmund; Edmund was permitted to rule the south of England until his death later in the year, when it reverted to Canute.
