<p> | <p>[[Ulfcytel]] (died 1016) was a greatly respected English military leader during the reign of [[Æthelred the Unready]] (978–1013 and 1014–1016), when ineffective opposition to Danish Viking invasions ended in the Danish conquest of England. Ulfcytel commanded East Anglian forces in a battle in 1004 against Danish Viking invaders led by the future king [[Swein Forkbeard]]; although Ulfcytel lost, the Danes were badly mauled and said that they had never met such hard fighting in England. He led a local English army to another defeat in the [[Battle of Ringmere]] in 1010 and died in 1016 in the [[Battle of Assandun]]. He exercised the powers of an [[ealdorman]], the second-highest rank in Anglo-Saxon England, but to the puzzlement of historians he was never formally given the title. Ulfcytel is highly praised in the [[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]] and Scandinavian [[skaldic poetry]], and also by [[Anglo-Norman writers]] and modern historians. Scandinavian sources gave him the [[byname]] snilling, meaning "bold", and the Icelandic court poet [[Sigvatr Þórðarson]] called East Anglia "Ulfkell's Land" after him.
