<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 71273, member: 708&quot;]Whoow, hold the horses. Right the dates will need changing to the latter 858-c.862 that i originally supplied. The others i supplied for the first reign aren&#039;t wrong, but then again neither are the dates you supplied.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no mention of this king in the historical Chronicle, but he did exist, the coins tell us that much. The dates are confusing at best. The North catalogue calls these copper/bronze sceats, &#039;stycas&#039;. I dunno if this is conventional or not, i&#039;ve heard the term before though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is what i don&#039;t get;</p><p><br /></p><p>According to North, Æthelred&#039;s first reign was (840-844 &amp; 854-858) and his second was 858-862. So 840-858 counts as one reign? Odd.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then he throws further wood on the fire, in the summary monarch listings just before the coins are listed in full North states this;</p><p><br /></p><p>Æthelred II first reign (840/1-844), second reign (844-848/50)</p><p><br /></p><p>Go figure...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
