The Danes submitted formally in 918, and soon thereafter th e sovereignty of Edward was acknowledged by the North Welsh, the Scots, the Northumbrians, and the Welsh of Strathclyde. Edward was succeeded by his son Athelstan.1

Athelstan, 895-940, engelsk konge 925-940, vant Wales og Skottland; i norrøne sagaer kalles han Adalstein; hos ham ble Håkon den gode oppfostret.

Athelstan (895-939), king of Wessex (924-939), and the first monarch to take the title of king of England. The grandson of King Alfred, he was crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames and seems to have possessed both great ambition and talent. It is suppos ed that his design was to unite, under his personal rule, the entire island of Britain. On the death of his brother-in-law Sihtric (reigned about 921-926), king of Northumbria, Athelstan took possession of his dominions. The other kings of the isl and submitted to him, in some instances voluntarily, and he styled himself Rex totius Britanniae (King of all Britain). A league, composed of Welsh, Scottish, and Danish allies, was formed against him. A fierce and decisive battle was fought (937 ) at Brunanburh, in which the allies were utterly defeated. After this the renown of Athelstan spread to the Continent. He exhibited a deep interest in the welfare of his people, improved the laws, and encouraged the translation of the Bible int o the vernacular.1

Notes:

Ethelred II, called The Unready (c. 968-1016), Anglo-Saxon King of England (978-1016), son of King Edgar and half-brother of Edward the Martyr. His reign was marked by bitter military struggles. After negotiating a treaty with Richard II, Duk e of Normandy (reigned about 996-1026), Ethelred married Richard's sister Emma. This marriage provided the basis for the subsequent Norman claim to the English throne. Although Ethelred paid tribute to the plundering Danes, Sweyn I (Forkbeard), Ki ng of Denmark, invaded England in 1013 and proclaimed himself king. In 1014 Ethelred fled to Normandy but returned a few months later upon Sweyn's death. Sweyn's son and successor, Canute II, invaded the country a year later and, following Ethelre d's death, became king of England. Ethelred's sobriquet, "The Unready", is a corruption of the Old English unraed, "bad counsel", which is a reference to his misfortunes.1

Notes:

Han måtte nedlegge sitt embete som under- eller visekonge, fordi Øygruppen ble avstått til Skottland. I følge Anders Stiloff (og Johannes T Nefstad som nok har det fra Stiloff) var han av norsk-skots ætt. Den skotske delen har jeg ikke funnet, men hans bestemor var av irsk ætt. Han var underkonge under kong Håkon Håkonson, og må ha vært en nær fortrolig av kongen, siden Håkon satte hans sønn som sysselmann over Valdres, etter at Dugal måtte nedlegge embetet sitt. Håkon kunne bare gitt bl affen i familien.
