'''Ethelred I''' (also Æthelred I) king of [[Wessex]] (865-871), the younger brother of [[Ethelbert]] and the third son of [[Ethelwulf]] to take the throne, faced the first major systematic attempt by the [[Dane]]s to conquer [[England]]. Having defeated and occupied [[East Anglia]] and [[Northumbria]], and moved down into [[Mercia]] during the first years of his reign, they moved against Wessex in the winter of 870/71. Ethelred died campaigning and was succeeded by his younger brother, Alfred. ([[Alfred the Great]])
