In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco uncover the remarkable life and legacy of Æthelflæd, daughter of Alfred the Great and ruler of Mercia during one of England’s most chaotic eras. From building fortified towns and defeating Vikings to forging religious and political power, Æthelflæd defied every expectation of a medieval woman—and reshaped English history in the process.
Discover how this formidable “Lady of the Mercians” led armies, minted coins, moved saints, and laid the groundwork for the unification of England—all while navigating a world dominated by warlords and kings.
