One valid point made in the conclusion to the book is that the Anglo-Saxon era is much neglected and has long been uncharted territory. Many of us would be hard pressed to name or say anything about any of the monarchs other than Alfred the Great or Ethelred the Unready. While we will never be in a position to know much if anything at all about such historically remote figures as personalities, we can be grateful for biographies such as this one which help to put them in perspective with regard to their achievements and their place in pre-Norman Conquest history. As the author states, Aethelflaed led a life and career which in some respects wno less remarkable than those of her father, and that she deserves to be plucked from obscurity to be remembered in the way that she deserves. This fine book equally deserves to be part of the process.
 
We also have a review of [[The King in the North: The Life and Times of Oswald of Northumbria by Max Adams]].
