Æthelred II (c. 840-848 or 854-862) – one of the most commonly encountered issuers of stycas, Æthelred was briefly deposed halfway through his reign by Redwulf, but quickly regained power. His dates of reign are hotly debated, though historians largely agree that he was assassinated rather than abdicating or dying peacefully.
