A major new title in the Penguin Monarchs series In his fascinating
new book in the Penguin Monarchs series, Richard Abels examines the
long and troubled reign of Aethelred II the 'Unraed', the
'Ill-Advised'. It is characteristic of Aethelred's reign that its
greatest surviving work of literature, the poem The Battle of
Maldon, should be a record of heroic defeat. Perhaps no ruler could
have stemmed the encroachment of wave upon wave of Viking raiders,
but Aethelred will always be associated with that failure.
