>"Unready" is a mistranslation of the Old English word unræd (meaning bad-counseled), a twist on his name "Æthelred", meaning noble-counseled. It should not be "unprepared", but rather "ill-advised".

Might be pulling this from my ass but its because most of the surviving portraits of kings from that period survive in manuscripts, chances are they had better portraits they just didn't survive.
