Known as the Lady of the Mercians in the 900s, Aethelflaed ruled Mercia on her own after her husband's death, leading the army to war and earning a fearsome reputation. She became a competent general and helped to drive the Vikings out of England. This book, published 1100 years after her death, tells her remarkable story.
Arriving to the 1100th anniversary of the death of Aethelflaed, Tim Clarkson looks into Aethelflaed's important place as ruler of Mercia (one of the major powers of Dark Age Britain), and as a force against the Vikings.
