Aethelred III

Aethelred III was king of Freland from 852 until 901 he had a 49 year reign.

Aethelred was born in Coden in 849 when he was 3 years old his father was assinated and so Aethelreds older brother was going to take the throne however Peter did not take the throne after marrying a Gothburgian and so the throne passed to Aethelred because of this Aethelreds aunt Elizabeth became regent however she decided to restore the powers of the priest and influenced Aethelred to not be like his father and respect the priest.

In 866 Aethelred asked his aunt to step down as regent but she refused and so he ordered her to be executed After becoming King Aethelred began planning to invade nearby countries first of all he invaded Danelaw but was unsuccessful and was forced to retreat but in 874 he began an invasion of Romulus and was able to capture the Coastal Burgundian City of Danmerck however the city was recaptured by Romulus in 881 a year later though he invaded Romulus again but once again failed.

In 885 Aethelred once began an invasion to take Burgundy this time was the closest he came after he made a deal with the Duke of Oldenburg to help him which he did with them taking most of Burdgundy however the Romulans retaliated and attacked Faro but Aethelred refused to give up and prepared for a siege of Burgundy's capital but once gain he failed was force to give up the attack.
