| Fact 1 | See Note Page |
| Shared note | Eric Delderfield: "Ethelred the Unready's reign was beset by a renewal of Viking raids, of a ferocity unknown since Alfred's time. Powerless to defeat the invaders, Ethelred resorted to buying off the Danes with silver (Danegold), which only encouraged further raids. On St. Brice's Day, 13 November 1002, he ordered a massacre of the Danes resident in England, a treachery prompting a retaliatory invasion the following year under Sweyn, son of the Danish king. Sweyn's military successes so eroded support for Ethelred that he could no longer rely upon the nobility or the army, compelling him to flee to Normandy in 1013. (In 1002 he had established the first link with Normandy by marrying Duke Richard's daughter Emma.) Sweyn's death in 1014 enabled Ethelred to return, but he was deprived of half the kingdom by his son Edmund, who made himself ruler in Danelaw. Ethelred died in London in 1016."
