History:
The name Æthelred means "noble council", but a cynical 13th century pun suggested his name should have been "evil council" or "unrede" because he said to have participated in a plot to murder his half brother St. Edward the Martyr. However, he was only about 10 years old at the time, and it is difficult to imagine how a child could have been a participant in such a heinous crime. Regardless, Æthelred's name "the Unrede" stuck. The name "the Unready" was coined centuries later and is mistaken.
On 14 April 979, he became the King of England.
Æthelred may have married to Ælthelgife, a daughter of Egbert who is not shown in all genealogies.
In 1013, he was temporarily deposed by King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark, who was never actually crowned King of England. When Sweyn died on February 3, 1014, the Witan recalled Æthelred who then reigned until his death.
Buried:
When St. Paul's was destroyed by the Great London Fire in 1666, and rebuilt, his tomb was lost.
Æthelred married Ælfgifu in 985 in England. Ælfgifu (daughter of Thored of Northumbria) was born about 968 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
