Ælfred Æþeling (c. 1012–1036), was one of the eight sons of the English king Æthelred the Unready. He and his brother Edward the Confessor were sons of Æthelred's second wife Emma of Normandy.[1] King Canute became their stepfather when he married Emma. Ælfred and his brother were caught up in the power struggles at the start and end of Canute's reign.
