The fascinating look at the real women who were the wives and daughters of the men who ruled Wessex, from Alfred on. Anyone who is a fan of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories will love to see the real characters behind the books and Netflix series.

It’s always nice to learn something new. The 10th century is so, so far away it is astounding that there’s even material enough to know anything about the people (even royalty) who lived then. For people who are interested in Anglo-Saxon England and its royalty this book will be a nice addition to a collection.
