      Called "The Unready" (i.e. without rede or counsel); tried to buy off
      Danish invaders led by Sweyn; finally assembled large navy but internal
      dissent undermined effective deployment; Encycl. Britannica, 1956 Ed.
      (1:275) states: "Weak, self-indulgent, improvident, he had pursued a policy
      of opportunism to a fatal conclusion." He reigned 979-1016.
