Has anyone written a decent book (fiction and/or non fiction) about Æthelflæd? Currently reading a fiction book, but it’s pretty weak and the book title annoyingly refers to her as King Alfred’s Daughter and not the Lady of Mercia (Exactly why do publishers think book titles referring to a woman by her relation to a man is going to make it sellable?).
Honestly, if no one has written a book series about her, I’d be bloody tempted.
