More of WTRF's proven lack of historical knowledge...
**(Yawn)**
quote: Aethelred the Unraed (evil council) was the last, genuine Anglo-Saxon king who came to power at the age of 12 in 978. (Edgar Aethling was almost 10 in 1066 when he was brutally usurped by Godwineson). His political bankruptcy in the face of the challenges of the eleventh century is evidenced by the St Brice’s Day Massacre of 1002, when he ordered the murder of all Danes living in Angleland . One of them was Sweyn Forkbeard’s brother. Forkbeard was to lead the 1016 Revolution to victory.
Redthemoron- yet again you prove your obvious stupidity and complete lack of historical knowledge(despite copy/pasting puerile and hysterically desperate lists of errors).
After stemming my uncontrollable laughter at your retardedness , let me correct the above, thankfully-brief and repulsive quote from a previous, long and boring tirade of yours, as usual(to amend all of your wretched bile would take an army of professional historians about two years!);-
1. Aethelred means 'noble/good counsel', Unraed means 'bad counsel'. You typically miss the point, morons- it was a derogatory pun on that king's name!
2. King Edmund Ironside, King Edward the Confessor and King Harold II were all born in England and also elected kings by the witan in England- true and legitimate- long before any ""last" Anglo-Saxon king" you morons can name.
3. Aetheling Edgar was, as I pointed out above(no.2) not brutally usurped by earl Harold- legally and popularly elected king by the witan. There is no evidence in any sources, Norman or English, that he resented a more capable and experienced candidate passing him by in desperate times.
4. Ethelred did not order the killing of all danes in England, but simply those restless and troublesome mercenaries('lithesmen') who had become a liability during the absence of Sweyn and Olaf Tryggvasson, who had left them in England.
5. Sweyn Forkbeard never lost a brother in the St. Brice's day massacre- it was his sister...and even then this is only reputed.
6. Most laughable of all, which reveals your total dumbness- forkbeard did not lead any revolution, and certainly not in 1016- he had DIED IN 1014!!! lol...
What a backward forum of village simpletons you are, Redthegits...Go back to your ladybird books!

Re: More of WTRF's proven lack of historical knowledge...
Thanks Anne
I've always understood that it had translated as similar to what I typed, but I'll accept your careful research as it makes good sense, presented as ever with intelligence and balance....unlike the backward WTRF!
But Red's erratic and incorrect posts- classics- I was going to watch a comedy on dvd, but decided to read those moron's warped threads for laughs instead!
Cheers.

Surprise, surprise Anne- Red's ignoring our more accurate posts(and their own stupidity) like mardy schoolchildren- because the facts don't a$$lick their camp and desperate 'heroes'!
What are you scared of, Red? This board laughing at yet more of your copy/pasted, incorrect Normanist tripe, that you've freshly plagiarised from another convenient site?

still waiting too...
...for just one source backing up the "revolution" angle, and refuting that it was merely wholesale theft and murder for profit.
