	Gloucester Medieval Gloucester: The Kingsholm Palace
		Part of the area, to the west of Kingsholm Road seems to have survived as the centre of a Roman farming estate which became the property of a local nobleman in the 5th century - possibly the Ostrogothic mercenary buried inside a re-used Roman stone mausoleum, excavated at Kingsholm Close in 1972.
		This area later became the site of a Saxon Royal Palace, probably in the 9th century, used by Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred the Great, Cnut and Edward the Confessor.
		This may be where William the Conqueror was staying for the Christmas Witan of 1085, as a result of which he gave the order for the Domesday Book to be written.

		This is the story of the little known Queen Aethelflaed, nicknamed "Lae." The tale takes place in the late 9th and early 10th centuries when women where supposed to be dominated by men.
		It takes all the talent Aethelflaed has inherited from her father, Aelfred the Great, to stand against the enemies of her realm.
		The author knows what she's saying when Aethelflaed names her sword Boadicea: whether this is "fact" or "fiction," there is truth in it.
