Excellent bit on Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians (one of my personal favorite historical women).
Way too much info on Joan of Arc.

There are interesting bits, but the writing style makes it a bit of a mess.

I can see why a chapter on ‘Medieval Mistresses’ was included in a book about Medieval Heroines, but I absolutely, vehemently disagree with including Alice Perrers.
Everything I have read shows her to be a greedy, odious woman who was grossly manipulative of King Edward III and caused multiple conflicts within his household.
