I just learned about her on History Unplugged Podcast and am doing more research to get to know her better. Super nice job on the video. I love the titles on the video to help understand the word's meanings and for those words that are pronounced miles away from their spelling too.

Great vid! I've said this elsewhere, but I think 'Aethel' is pronounced 'athel' not 'ethel' because an ash ('a' and 'e' combined) is pronounced with a hard 'a', like hat. So it's pronounced Athelflad not Ethelflade. Not being picky, just wanted to point out something I'd learned.

During the time where women's existence is completely fictional. Aethelflaed is a great example that women can also run the world if given the chance to bloom. Like wild flowers, they can run through concrete just to rise up and make their presence felt.

Mr
Can you please tell me the approximate army size during those years? The show Last Kingdom portrays an army as maybe 100 men at most with one of the biggest battles consisting of many 1000 men. Was this true or is the army size understated?

Regardless of the historical accuracy of The Last Kingdom, I think we can all agree that actress Millie Brady absolutely KILLED IT in her performance as Aethelflaed. She absolutely STOLE the show, especially in Season 3!

I'm glad people watch historical shows and then learn the history behind them. The Last Kingdom was a good show in season 1 & 2, then became goofy. Historically it's garbage. But, if it gets people here that's great.

So she would have been a child living in the marshes with her father during the Viking great invasion. Fascinating. I wonder what that was like for her. Too bad people in those days didn't write their memoirs.

She help found the Saxon town of Warwick in 914, as well! She had ordered a fortified Burh, there. Now in the grounds of Warwick Castle, itself. Which was constructed by the Normans, later in 1068.

I love how these artistic depictions show her as a feeble female, when in fact she must have been more like a sturdy Brunhilde to be able to fight properly.

Not a big fan of Germans that call themselves English. Baudica was the last great warrior Queen of the British Celts a thousand years before Aethelflaed.

After learning a bit more about this I can't help but notice they completely butchered her husband's character in the last kingdom.

I am guessing you all know but Burh is the Old English word that became: borough, burgh, borgh, bury in Modern English place names.

The struggle between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings is fascinating.
Many people forget that England almost ceased to exist.

Can someone tell me wether she actually fought in battle, sword in hand? Or was she just the strategist behind the battle lines?

I dont like her relationship with Utred. She was not really in love with him. She was only using him. Marcia was her only love.
