Synopsis

From bestselling historical fiction author MJ Porter, a gripping historical trilogy of England's tenth-century queen, for fans of Anne O'Brien, Elizabeth Chadwick and Alison Weir.

Before Anne Boleyn stole the heart of a king and demanded marriage, another woman strove to wed an already married king of England. This is the story of Elfrida, who would become the first crowned Queen of England.

Lady Elfrida, the first crowned Queen of England, has cemented her position both as queen and wife to the king, Edgar. He is the ‘peaceable’ king, ruler over England, and ally of the land of the Scots and the Welsh kingdoms: an emperor in all but name.

England is peaceful, and her young son growing day by day.

Yet fate has not yet finished with the first crowned Queen of England.

The Mercian Brexit can be read as an introduction to The First Queen, offering an account of the very early days of King Edgar's reign from 955 to 957.

Praise for The First Queen

"The First Queen is the first instalment of Elfrida’s story. This is a really well-written book, based on sound research and good knowledge of the historical context of the story." Amazon Reviewer

"M. J. Porter definitely did her research homework, which is challenging when it comes to writing about an age before printing presses and widespread book distribution. Her genealogy and succession charts in the back are especially informative. Elfrida is a sympathetic character and the reader looks to see her have a good outcome as the story unfolds. Interesting journey into pre-Norman Conquest England." Amazon Reviewer
