Typically all you hear is the conquest of William the conquerer in 1066, but their was so much interesting information before then during the Viking invasions of the British Isles.

    There is disagreement between historians as to the site of the Battle. While some claim it was in Ashdon (as said in this video), others claim it was in Ashingdon (near Rochford, Essex). The legend goes that Cnut made his camp on a nearby hill, on which now stands Canewdon church.

    I think Edmund was significantly younger than Bush (or any other president) was. (Why are we always voting for old people? They don't have to care for the future like a 30-50 year old would be forced to.) But the idea is kind of funny. The news would be all over it like a pack of wolves.

    This time period would make a most excellent hbo show. It has everything. Badass Viking warlords with awesome names, inept English king who flees in exile to Normandy, conniving second wife queen who alienates and splits the royal family apart, kickass warrior princes of Aethelred - including one Chosen One who dies at the worst possible time and another who takes his mantle in Ironside. Backstabbing and doublecrossing vassal. Other vassals infighting and destroying the royal fleet, and the hope of England with it. And general treachery, bloodshed, warfare, mayhem, tragedy, and loss everywhere. I mean, Aethelred’s reign begins with treachery with his mom killing his brother. It ends with treachery. And you could even extend the series through Cnut’s reign, when Aethelred’s younger sons - Edward the confessor and his brother - come back to England years later. The Confessor’s brother comes back from Normandy on invitation from another “loyal vassal” only to be stabbed in the back by the guy, loyal to Cnut the whole time. And then it’s down to the Confessor to save the Wessex house. Just an excellent time period. I’d devour a good show or movie based on it.
