  • 1The name of two English kings.

    1. 1.1 Ethelred I (d.871), king of Wessex and Kent 865–71, elder brother of Alfred. His reign was marked by the continuing struggle against the invading Danes. Alfred joined Ethelred's campaigns and succeeded him on his death.
    2. 1.2 Ethelred II (c.969–1016), king of England 978–1016; known as Ethelred the Unready.
