He took the throne in 1013
With Sigrid as his Danish queen.
He died in 1014, alack
And Aethelred came swiftly
back.
By now he had a trusted son
The so-called Edmund
Ironside
And head to head and back to
back
The two men fought the Danes
with pride.
But though the battle rush
was heady
King Aethelred just wasn’t
ready.
The Anglos battled long and
hard
To try to give the Danes the
boot
But Sweyne, he also had a
son,
And this boy’s name was
(King) Canute.
