The papal legate Leo of Trevi mediated this monarch's conflict with Richard of Normandy by bringing about the Peace of Rouen. A poem set during this monarch's reign describes how Byrhtnoth refused to buy peace with gafol, or tribute, following defeat at the Battle of Maldon. He ascended the throne after the assassination of his halfÂ­brother Edward the Martyr. This monarch ordered the massacre of all (*) Danes in England on St. Brice's Day, causing Sweyn Forkbeard to invade his kingdom and depose him. After being defeated at Ashingdon, this monarch's son Edmund Ironside divided up his lands with Canute.
