General Notes: Wikipedia says, amongst much more,
Æthelred (Old English: Æþelræd, pronounced ['æðelræ?d];[n 1] c. 966 \endash 23 April 1016), known as the Unready, was King of the English from 978 to 1013 and again from 1014 until his death in 1016. His epithet does not derive from the modern word "unready", but rather from the Old English unræd meaning "poorly advised"; it is a pun on his name, which means "well advised".

Æthelred was the son of King Edgar and Queen Ælfthryth. He came to the throne at about the age of 12, following the assassination of his older half-brother, Edward the Martyr. His brother's murder was carried out by supporters of his own claim to the throne, although he was too young to have any personal involvement.[citation needed]

The chief problem of Æthelred's reign was conflict with the Danes. After several decades of relative peace, Danish raids on English territory began again in earnest in the 980s. Following the Battle of Maldon in 991, Æthelred paid tribute, or Danegeld, to the Danish king. In 1002, Æthelred ordered what became known as the St. Brice's Day massacre of Danish settlers. In 1013, King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark invaded England, as a result of which Æthelred fled to Normandy in 1013 and was replaced by Sweyn. However, he returned as king for two years after Sweyn's death in 1014. Æthelred's 37-year combined reign was the longest of any Anglo-Saxon king of England, and was only surpassed in the 13th century, by Henry III. Æthelred was briefly succeeded by his son, Edmund Ironside, but he died after a few months and was replaced by Sweyn's son, Cnut. Another of Æthelred's sons, Edward the Confessor, became king in 1042.

Children from this marriage were:

   26    i. Aelfred of WESSEX [123456] was born about 1002 in Wessex England and died on 5 Feb 1037 in Ely Cambridgeshire England aged about 35.

   27    ii. King Edward "the Confessor" of WESSEX of the English [123457] was born about 1003 in Islip Oxfordshire England and died on 5 Jan 1066 in London Middlesex England aged about 63.

   28    iii. Godgifu of WESSEX [123458] was born about 1004 in Wessex England and died in 1055 in Lewes Priory Lewes Sussex England aged about 51.

Godgifu married Comte Eustace II de BOULOGNE de Boulogne [123635]. Eustace was born in 1020 in Boulogne Sur Mer Pas De Calais France and died in 1087 in Spain at age 67.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Eustace II,
Eustace II, (c. 1015 \endash c. 1087), also known as Eustace aux Gernons ("Eustace with moustaches"),[1][2][3] was Count of Boulogne from 1049\endash 1087. He fought on the Norman side at the Battle of Hastings, and afterwards received large grants of land forming an honour in England. He is one of the few proven companions of William the Conqueror. It has been suggested that Eustace was the patron of the Bayeux Tapestry.
