      Also quick side note, unready doesnt mean the same as the modern meaning, it means ill-advised. Slightly ironic as Aethelred means well-advised. Same way that Alfred means Elf-Advised or Elf-Counsel

      What was the second reason? I am pissed off at myself for naivly assuming there was only one Aethelred of England. My thought process just jumped to ah “this will make for a good joke about his stats” ... oops

    • @Ymylock
      @Ymylock Рік тому +19

      The other reason is that he was called “Æthelred Unred” which many people assume means “Æthelred the Unready” but “Æthelred” means “Wise council” and “Unred” means “Poorly (or badly) counselled” so his name (along with the nickname) means “Wise council poorly counselled”.

    Well, the title unready given to Æðelræd actually means bad counciled.
    There is a word in old English “Rǣd”. It can mean several things, byspell: council, plan, rule…
    But, in this case it means council, and unready is a misoversetting of Unrǣdiġ.

      It was originally a Scottish lead idea too with Queen Anne being of the Stuart dynasty and Britain kind of being in Scottish hands after Queen Elizabeth I died. The Scots went bankrupt from colonizing Panama so the English agreed to merging the crowns under the stipulation that Britain wouldn't have a catholic king and to avoid Scotland allying with France.

      @@MellowScot I really like starting as Erik the Heathen in 1066. If you reform the Norse faith with "Christian Synchretism" and go for "Strange Gods" with your dynasty and take "Apostate" with your lifestyle, you get a whopping +75 to all relations with christians, both orthodox and catholic. You can marry and Ally them as well. It's pretty easy to do this as a vassal if you can overpower england and norway for the holy sites, and raid everyone else into the ground. Your vassals will actually like youmore if they are christian so you dont have to worry about conversions. You can also use christian artifacts, some of which are quite nice. It costs only 3 dynasty legacies to set this up, worth going for Mann and the Isles to speed it up - if you have viking super-soldiers it's really quite nice to combine that with this broken diplomacy trick. It's also hilarious to befriend the pope and be allied to the holy roman empire as a Viking heathen.

      It’s usually when I took a Marshall focused heir and I was thinking I’d like to hold on to some of the land for later rather than have to revoke it which probably isn’t optimal, but by the end Liberty factions became a pain so I was low crown authority most of the time

    "This may seem like a strange thing for a scotsman to do". Mate the Scottish and English ARE the british empire. We are brothers by blood and by arms. Without Scotland, England is nothing, and without England, Scotland is nothing. The act of union in 1707 was what set this in stone and truly solidified the dawn of the British Empire.
