Aethelred II is more commonly known by the epithet "the Unready,"
and it is precisely this popular image of incompetence which Ian
Howard's biography is intended to put to rest. In constructing a
chronological narrative of Aethelred's lengthy (38 year) and in
parts successful reign Howard draws by preference on strictly
contemporary sources, reserving later Scandinavian and Norman
sources for an epilogue describing the posthumous assault on the
king's reputation. Appendices provide detailed analysis of problems
of dating, of the MS D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and of
Aethelredian coinage and fiscal policy.
