<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 7839127, member: 5372&quot;]Didn&#039;t Snodgrass write about this, and this exact issue that faced Aethelred, when he had to buy Peace from the Danes at 40 million pennies a year? I think I recall that he started trial by ordeal punishment. In effect, it was stealing tribute that should have been paid to Aethelred, to be able to pay the Danes. It&nbsp; has been a while since I read Snodgrass, though, and may be mixing up all the stuff I read. I am getting old.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, there was a reason he was called Aethelred the Unready, after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
