Evidence suggests the men were running away from their attackers |

We’re kind of used to seeing the Vikings get annihilated.

“Ethelred the Unready”????
What a moniker to be stuck with!
To: daler
Lately, that’s true. :’) I read of some mystification as to the efficacy of the Vikings’ draft picks as well.

It’s a commonplace, but it’s a modern misunderstanding I believe — it actually was “Ethelred the Unraed”, meaning “counsel-less”, he made a lot of decisions without either weighing them for very long or consulting with any of his advisors. Pay was probably the same.

The word “Ready” as it was used then meant counselled or advised. Ethelred’s monicker translated today would mean “evil counsel”, “bad plan” or “folly”. It was not something one would say to the King’s face

In that case, the whole massacre was probably antisemitism.
