 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Review: Queen Emma and the Vikings by Harriet O'Brien
And yet Emma of Normandy has slipped so far from popular consciousness that few people in Elizabeth II's England are even aware that their country ever had a Queen Emma.
Emma was the daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy, this Norman dynasty itself being descended from the Norsemen who had overrun northern France 100 years earlier.
Emma, already a mother of three at the age of about 30, went on to bear her second royal husband two more children.

 Legends: Queen Emma's Ordeal by Fire
Queen Emma, the heroine of this story, is believed, in Berkshire, to have resided at Wargrave, one of the manors in question.
Until the year 1827, a very ancient building, called Queen Emma's Palace, was pointed out as having been occupied by her; but although of great antiquity, we believe that this building does not date back beyond the end of the 15th century, probably even later.
In this case it will be shown that Emma, although she may possibly have resided at Wargrave, certainly never possessed the Manor, and consequently could not have given it to Winchester Cathedral, as a thank-offering for her delivery from the Ordeal.

In this evolving tradition, Pauline Stafford's Queen Emma and Queen Edith: Queenship and Women's Power in Eleventh-Century England draws on literary, artistic, and liturgical sources, as well as record and chronicle evidence, to study the remarkable narratives two eleventh-century queens of England created to justify the political activity they grounded in familial roles.
Along the way, she acquired identities as lady, wife, mother, and queen, roles Stafford sees as "dominant scripts which set the parameters of the parts which queens had to play.
The most delicate of transitions made this lady, wife, and mother into a queen; if ideals of marriage "sanctioned a wife's influence and power, [they turned] a blind eye to the circumstances in which a woman might often be called upon to exercise them" (p.
