Today we are going further back in time to take a look at the life of an Anglo Saxon king, one who’s reign is epitomised by his leadership of a nation in its year’s of immense struggles against viking marauder’s - his name - King Æthelred II, history however, know’s him now though as simply Æthelred the Unready.
After ascending to the throne he inherited a peaceful England, prosperous and content, sadly though, this was not to last. A prosperous nation meant a target for others, namely the Danes.
