Æthelred the Unready, King (Kingdom of England) : All Data
Æthelred the Unready was the King of the Kingdom of England from 978 to 1016. During his reign, he faced several significant wars and revolts. One of the most notable conflicts was the Danish invasion led by Sweyn Forkbeard, which began in 1013 and resulted in Æthelred's temporary exile. Another important war was the Battle of Assandun in 1016, where Æthelred's forces, along with his ally Edmund Ironside, fought against Cnut the Great's Danish army. Despite his efforts, Æthelred was unable to fully repel the Danish invasions, leading to his eventual death and the ascension of Cnut as the King of England.
