Infamous for his domestic and international failures, Æthelred was unable to fend off successive Viking raids, leading to the notorious St. Brices Day Massacre in 1002, during which Danes in England were slaughtered on his orders. Though Æthelreds posthumous standing is dominated by his unsuccessful military leadership, his seemingly blind trust in disloyal associates, and his harsh treatment of political opponents, Roach suggests that Æthelred has been wrongly maligned. Drawing on extensive research, Roach argues that Æthelred was driven by pious concerns about sin, society, and the anticipated apocalypse. His strategies, in this light, were to honor God and find redemption. Chronologically charting Æthelreds life, Roach presents a more accessible character than previously available, illuminating his place in England and Europe at the turn of the first millennium. Author Biography Levi Roach is lecturer at the University of Exeter, and formerly a junior research fellow at St Johns College, Cambridge. He lives in Exeter, UK.
