I believe this was lacking a bit in writing. Especially the whole Aethelflaed remaining chaste, felt kinda forced, in order to get everyone where they need to be. To be honest though, i kinda prefer it all in all, to how it happens in the book (as womanizer Uhtred, never sat right with me), but still i believe they could have found a slightly better way forward. Still a strong episode.

Make up tips for the Viking runaway.

The Lady of Mercia ascends to the throne. Probably one of the most astonishing and underrated events in English history

Just another sacrifice Uthred makes losing another person he loves. I don’t know how he even functions with all he has lost. I know it’s just a show but I love his character so much. As well as his crew of course

Something I noticed this time watching - Sihtric has his necklace round his wrist and then puts it back on when they leave the pub. Maybe not wanting to drawing attention to who he is where there’s alcohol. The details!

I like Father Pyrlig, I really do. But it would have been fun to see Beoca baptize Uhtred for the 3rd time. Aethelflaed is so strong. Inspiring!!! Perhaps, that's what Edward sees now. We can only hope. Did you guys see Aelswith's smile when Uhtred called for Aethelflaed to be queen? Hi Ubbe! ❤️ Glad you're feeling better.

It's very important to realize, Edward is a very young king in the shadow of the great king.

Aethelflaed was so awesome. She gets mentioned at Warwick Castle, which is another burh she created. Over a thousand years and there’s still a big ass fortification where she put it.

Brida has always been a hothead, but..damn girl! Somebody get her some chocolate and give her a foot rub...stat! 😂 love your reactions guys 🥰 Hey Ubbe 👋looking good buddy! 💜

Some quotes about Aethelflaed. She was really one of the first female rulers and she was viewed in such high regards, that even 1100 years after her death, in 2018 they made a six-metre statue of her in Tamworth in addition with a number of major events, all about her.

Alan Unaiomen

In the twelfth century, Henry of Huntingdon paid her his own tribute: Heroic Elflede! great in martial fame, A man in valour, woman though in name: Thee warlike hosts, thee, nature too obey'd, Conqu'ror o'er both, though born by sex a maid. Chang'd be thy name, such honour triumphs bring. A queen by title, but in deeds a king. Heroes before the Mercian heroine quail'd: Caesar himself to win such glory fail'd.[73][f]

Alan Unaiomen

In Nick Higham's view, medieval and modern writers have been so captivated by her that Edward's reputation has suffered unfairly in comparison.

Alan Unaiomen

Æthelred died in 911 and Æthelflæd then ruled Mercia as Lady of the Mercians. The accession of a female ruler in Mercia is described by the historian Ian Walker as "one of the most unique events in early medieval history".
