About the Event

Discover more about the role of this remarkable female leader.

One thousand, one hundred and seven years ago, the daughter of Alfred the Great died at Tamworth in the heart of Mercia. In the ten years before her death, she had reclaimed most of the area of Mercia that had been held by the Danes. Using archaeology and written sources from her own time an examination of this process (and other aspects of her life) will be undertaken to reveal the role of this remarkable female leader.
