The Great Adventure

After a few attacks on English outposts, King Ethelred the Unready vowed revenge on Erik the Red. He did this by going after Thorvald Eriksson, his son. He boarded his best vessel and embarked on a high seas chase through the North Atlantic. They both landed in Vineland (modernday 13 colonies) in 1002.

Plausible?

No...

Well just no
 
does not sound plausable... Erik the Red also was not that big of a threat.. i doubt Etherlred would take away the best ships in his Navy. That would just open England up 2 more raids
 
Erik "the Red" Thorvaldson, at the best of times, was a farmer and occasional merchant. He lived in Iceland and Greenland most of his adult life, and was of no political significance in his own lifetime, except in Greenland of course. And he was certainly unknown and unheard of by English and Scandinavian monarchs.
