Biography
Eadred was son of Æthelred the Unready and his first wife Ælfgifu.[1] His birth date is not known but he is named in charters of his father from 993.[2]
Next to nothing else is known about him. The last charter in which Eadred's name is listed is about 1012, so he probably died about then.[2]

Aethelred married Emma of Normandie in 1002. Eadred is born around 1010. Shouldn't his mother be Emma, as it is listed in the biography section?
