Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians (or Ealdorman Æthelred of Mercia) (died 911) became ruler of Mercia shortly after the death of its last king, Ceolred II in 879, probably in 882. His descent is unknown, and he does not appear to have been closely related to his immediate predecessors. He is first recorded in 883, when he made a grant to Berkeley Abbey with the approval of King Alfred of Wessex, showing that he acknowledged Alfred's lordship. Æthelred married Alfred's eldest daughter Æthelflæd between 882 and 887, and they had one child, a daughter called Ælfwynn.[1]
