Wales
Northumbria

Answer
Northumbria was a region in northern England that Æthelred struggled to maintain control over. This was due to the fact that the region was constantly being raided by the Vikings, who were seeking to conquer and settle in England. Æthelred was unable to effectively defend Northumbria from these raids, and as a result, the region was lost to the Vikings.
