EDRIC, or EADRIC, STREONA (d. 1017)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 951 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
EDRIC, or EADRIC, STREONA (d. 1017) , ealdorman of the Mercians, was a man of ignoble
birth
  who was advanced to high dignity through the favour of the
English
  king rEthelred II. In 1007 he became ealdorman of the Mercians, and subsequently married'
Ethelred
 's daughter Eadgyth. In the struggle between the
English
  and the Danes he appears in the
character
  of an
arch
 -traitor. When '
Ethelred
  in Too9 proposed a
great
  attack on the Danes, Edric dissuaded him from carrying it into effect. Again, on the invasion of
England
  by Canute in 1015 Edric deserted Edmund Ironside and joined him. After the
battle
  of Otford he returned to Edmund, but only by his treachery at the
battle
  of Assandun to secure the utter defeat of the national cause. When peace was at length made, Canute restored to Edric the earldom of Mercia; but at
Christmas
  1017, fearing further treachery, he had him slain" very rightly " says the Saxon Chronicle.
