Æthelred, lord of the Mercians (d. 911). Of unknown origins, by 883 Æthelred was in control of western Mercia, left under Anglo‐Saxon control when Vikings conquered the rest. Æthelred found it expedient to accept the overlordship of
Alfred of Wessex and married his eldest daughter
Æthelfleda. The two provinces co‐ordinated activities against the Vikings, but Æthelred became increasingly plagued by ill‐health so that well before his death in 911 Æthelfleda had become the effective leader of the Mercians.
