Ian Howard
Aethelred II is more commonly known by the epithet "the Unready", and it is precisely this popular image of incompetence which Ian Howard's biography is intended to put to rest. In constructing a chronological narrative of Aethelred's lengthy (38 year) and in parts successful reign Howard draws by preference on strictly contemporary sources, reserving later Scandinavian and Norman sources for an epilogue describing the posthumous assault on the king's reputation. Appendices provide detailed analysis of problems of dating, of the MS D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and of Aethelredian coinage and fiscal policy.
