Æthelflæd (d.918), Queen, administrator of law, military and political leader, is one of the most significant women in English history. This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines Æthelflæd's reign and legacy in the context of women's roles during this period and so challenges a prevailing misconception that the tenth century represents a decline in female agency and power. Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, and Women in Tenth-Century England argues for a reassessment of women's political, military, literary and domestic agency.
