A Conspiracy of Kings – a little bit of history (may contain spoilers for my fictional recreation of Lady Ælfwynn In the sequel to The Lady of Mercia’s Daughter, the story of Lady Ælfwynn continues. She is The Second Lady of Mercia, but everything isn’t as it seems. In the various recensions of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, an attempt can be made to piece together what befalls her.

It feels like there is so much to be anxious about, and my nerves are of the old school Mrs Bennett type. Here's a video of Aelfwynn that I try to emulate. Alert and curious, but chill. Also, tummy floof. #tabbytuesday

recaptured territories like Derby. Her leadership strengthened Mercia and aided a unified England. After she died she was succeeded briefly by her daughter, Ælfwynn.

Meet Æthelflæd, the Lady of Mercia. A warrior queen who fought back vikings and secured her lands, taking back viking owned Derby and Leicester with military force.
She was not only accepted as a ruler but could even pass her title down to her daughter, Aelfwynn.

#Oak comes from the #OldEnglish "Āc" which was sort of pronounced "Ahk".
It's the root of "Acorn" or "æcern" in Old English which means "Oak Fruit" or "Oak Nut"
"The oak grows strong, roots entwined, the seer knows; he who takes counsel at the tree holds magic in hand" - Ælfwynn

Interesting question! I think Edward precipitated the decline, but I daresay Aelfwynn was not the character her mother was. Still, some powerful Mercian figures even in the 11th century, so they didn't lie down quietly!

Yes, Sax had a twin sister, Ælfwynn! She passed away centuries ago, but due to some magical fuckery from Saxen she got caught in a cycle of rebirth & El is her 13th reincarnation. Not related by blood now, but still kinda related since she has his sister's soul?? It's complicated. 😅🤣 #simqotd

For the record, I am not an expert in Anglo-Saxon onomatologly.
