Who was the King of England from 23 April to 30 November 1016 that also led the English army in the Battle of Assandun?
Battle of Assandun The Battle of Assandun (or Essendune) was fought between Danish and English armies on 18 October 1016. There is disagreement whether Assandun may be Ashdon near Saffron Walden in north Essex or, as long supposed, Ashingdon near Rochford in southeast Essex, England. It ended in victory for the Danes, led by Canute the Great, who triumphed over the English army led by King Edmund Ironside. The battle was the conclusion to the Danish reconquest of England.
William Adelin William Ætheling (] ; 5 August 1103 – 25 November 1120), designated or titled Adelin (alternately rendered as "Adelinus", "Adelingus", "A(u)delin" or other Latinised Norman-French variants of "Ætheling"), was the son of Henry I of England by his wife Matilda of Scotland, and was thus heir apparent to the throne. His early death without issue caused a succession crisis, known in history as The Anarchy.
