Æthelred was only about 10 (no more than 13) when his half-brother Edward was murdered, and was not personally suspected of participation. But as the deed occurred at Corfe Castle by the attendants of Æthelred's mother it made it more difficult for the new king to rally the nation against the invader, especially as a legend of St Edward the Martyr soon grew. Later Æthelred ordered a massacre of Danish settlers in 1002 and also paid tribute, or Danegeld, to Danish leaders from 982 onwards. In 1013, Æthelred fled to Normandy and was replaced by Sweyn, who was also king of Denmark. However, Æthelred returned as king after Sweyn died the following year. 'Unready' is from Anglo-Saxon unrÆd, meaning ill-advised."
