The end of the 10th century saw renewed Scandinavian interest in England. Aethelred ruled a long reign, but ultimately lost his kingdom to Swein, though he recovered it following the latter's death. However, Aethelred's son Edmund II Ironside died shortly afterwards, allowing Canute, Swein's son, to become king of England, one part of a mighty empire stretching across the North Sea.
