    Notes:

    Ethelred II, "The Unready", King Of England was sometimes called "the Unread," or counsel-less, because he could not command the support of his leading nobles. Today he is often called "the Unready" because that word looks like "Unraed." He failed to stop Danish invasions, and finally bought peace with money. This was the origin of the Danegeld.
