Comments

Późny okres anglosaski, królowie Anglii (973-1066), król Aethelred II (978-1016), srebrny grosz typu długi krzyż. B.M.C. IVa

Aethelred był synem króla Eadgara i jego drugiej żony Aelfthryth i wstąpił na tron po zamordowaniu swojego przyrodniego brata Edwarda. Jest znany potomnym jako "Niegotowy" od "Unrede", co oznacza "bez rady", przydomek ten zyskał ze względu na słabość jego królewskiego rządu. Podczas tego panowania Anglia była poddawana coraz częstszym i silniejszym najazdom Wikingów, a w celu zapewnienia pokoju płacono duże daniny. Duże skarby znaleziono w Skandynawii i regionie bałtyckim, a monety są często znakowane dziobem.

Late Anglo-Saxon period, Kings of England (973-1066), King Aethelred II (978-1016), silver long cross type penny. B.M.C. IVa

Aethelred was the son of King Eadgar, by his second wife Aelfthryth, and ascended the throne on the murder of his half-brother, Edward. He is known to posterity as ‘The Unready’ from ‘Unrede’, meaning ‘without counsel’, an epithet gained from the weakness of his royal government. During this reign, England was subjected to Viking raids of increasing frequency and strength, and a large amount of tribute was paid in order to secure peace. Large hoards have been found in Scandinavia and the Baltic region and coins are often found peck-marked.
