  ethelfleda
Ethelfleda was given in marriage in about 884 to Ethelred, a successor of Ceolred II,  King of Mercia, and described by some at the time, as a prince of Mercia.
Ethelfleda was not of course just “given”; such a formidable princess would have had her own opinions on whom to marry and she married late for women at that time, being about 20 years old.
Ethelfleda, who maintained childbearing was not for her in her warrior role, eventually gave birth to a daughter Elfwynne.

In 886, he was given control of London by King Alfred of Wessex, whose daughter, Ethelfleda, he married.
As Alfred reconquered the Danelaw, it was useful to place the heir to the destroyed Kingdom of Mercia in control of its former area: this allowed the expansion of the Kingdom of Wessex to appear as the liberation of areas conquered by the Danes.
Towards the end of his life, he allowed Ethelfleda to exercise many of his powers, and when he died she succeeded him.

Ethelfleda carried on the tradition after her husband died – within three days she was leading her army into battle.
But sadly, Ethelfleda died in that year at Tamworth – just as she seemed on the brink of ending the Danish threat forever.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Oswald
At the battle of Maserfeld, said to be seven miles from Shrewsbury, "on the border of Wales, near Offa's dyke", Oswald was slain on 5 Aug., 642, and thus perished "the most powerful and most Christian King" in the eighth year of his reign and in the flower of his age.
In the tenth century some of the bones were carried off by Ethelred and Ethelfleda of Mercia to St. Peter's, Gloucester.
His head was taken from the battlefield to the church of St. Peter in the royal fortress at Bamborough, and was afterwards translated to Lindisfarne, where, for fear of the Danes, it was placed in 875 in the coffin of St. Cuthbert, which found its resting place at Durham in 998.
