There are few kings in English history that are as maligned as Ethelred. Forever remembered as āthe Unreadyā, Ethelredās reign was regarded even by those writing only fifteen years after its end as a time of chaos when England was beset by a renewed Viking menace and the king himself was forced to flee the kingdom, albeit temporarily. Ultimately though, Ethelredās reign would set the stage for a successful Danish invasion and the rise of Cnut.

History from Below
This episode I wanted to look back at where we have been from the perspective of the high-water mark of Anglo-Saxon history that was the reign of Edgar. In this retrospective analysis, I want to consider some aspects of āhistory from belowā that were not focused on as much in earlier episodes, specifically the economic base of society, slavery, and the position of women in Anglo-Saxon society.

Edward the Martyr
Following Edgarās death, we enter into what would be one of the most turbulent periods of Anglo-Saxon history which would see murder, renewed Viking activity, and invasion bring England to its knees. It all began with a dispute over the succession.

The Ideology of Benedictine Reform
Oswald of Worcester (d.992) is usually viewed as one of three episcopal leaders of monastic reform in tenth-century England, but this interpretation conflates Oswaldās motivations and interests with those of Dunstan (d.988) and Ćthelwold (d.984). This article uses the surviving source-material to re-examine how far Oswald was genuinely connected with his contemporariesā reforming ideology and how this differed from Ćthelwoldās specifically. Ultimately two distinct movements emerge from this re-evaluation, one centred on Winchester and the other on Worcester (and its associated houses), both based on distinct ideologies of monastic reform.
