biographical and/or anecdotal:
*Ethelred II., the Unready
was born in 968, a boy of ten when he became king in 978. He died April 23, 1016
in London, reigning for thirty-eight years from 979 to 1016. He was the last of the
Boy Kings. The epitaph "The Unready" which is usually assigned to him is
a misrepresentation of a word which properly means the Rede-less, the man without
counsel. He was entirely without the qualities which befit a king.
