King Æthelred II was the recipient of a ship from Ælfric. Ælfric, an ealdorman of Hampshire, was a prominent figure in Anglo-Saxon England during the reign of King Æthelred II. In 994, Ælfric led a fleet of ships to raid the Isle of Man, which was under the control of the Vikings. The raid was successful, and Ælfric returned to England with a large amount of plunder.
