The first AngloSaxon Queens of England before the Norman conquest are shrouded in the mists of history. Their stories read like fairytales and in fact one of them inspired the evil stepmother. The AngloSaxon Queen Consorts were:
Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury
Æthelflæd of Damerham
Ælfgifu
Ælfthryth of Devon
Ælfgifu of York
Emma of Normandy
Ealdgyth
Edith of Wessex
Ealdgyth of Mercia

The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.
