| 6. | Ethelred II 'the Unready' KING OF ENGLAND was born about 968 in Wessex, England (son of Edgar 'the Peaceable' KING OF ENGLAND and Elfrida OF ENGLAND); died on 23 Apr 1016 in London, Greater London, England; was buried in Old St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Greater London, England. Notes:
Ethelred II., the Unready was born in 968, a boy of ten when he became king in 978. He died April 23, 1016 in London, reigning for thirty-eight years from 979 to 1016. He was the last of the Boy Kings. The epitaph "The Unready" which is usually assigned to him is a misrepresentation of a word which properly means the Rede-less, the man without counsel. He was entirely without the qualities which befit a king. He married in 984 (1) Elfflaed (Elgifa) (Aelfgifu), daughter of Earl Thorad.
Ethelred married Elgiva OF WESSEX. Elgiva (daughter of Thored Gunnarsson OF WESSEX) was born about 968; and died. [Group Sheet]

| 12. | Edgar 'the Peaceable' KING OF ENGLAND was born about 944 in Wessex, England (son of Edmund I 'the Magnificent' KING OF ENGLAND and Aelfgifu 'the Fairies Gift' OF ENGLAND); died on 8 Jul 975 in Winchester, Hampshire, England; was buried in Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Notes:
Edgar, the Peaceful, the fourth Boy King, was born in 943 and died July 8, 975. He reigned from 959 to 975. It is recorded that Edgar, while keeping his court at Chester, was rowed down the River Dee, the oars manned by eight kings of neighboring tributary states. The story, though probably untrue, sets forth his power not only over his own immediate subjects, but over the whole island. He had a well-trained army and a strong navy and his title shows that at least he lived on good terms with his neighbors. He married (1) Aethelflaed, and (2) Elfrida (Aelfthryth) of Devon, daughter of Ordgar, Earl of Devonshire, and widow of Ethelwold.
Edgar married Elfrida OF ENGLAND in 965. Elfrida (daughter of Ordgar EALDORMAN OF DEVONSHIRE) was born about 945 in Lynford Castle, Devonshire, England; died on 17 Oct 1000 in Wherwell, Hampshire, England; was buried in Wilton Abbey, Wiltshire, England. [Group Sheet]
