Lady of Mercia, queen before queens,
Founding mother on a chessboard of kings,
In the days of hand forged blades on the battlefield
The power struggle for Mercia yields
Blood spilled to mud, what once was real
Was weaponised beehives and boiling vats of beer
Throne of the kingdom was Alfred’s and fears of a godless army was hanging in the air
Heathens carried by the waves soon appeared,
Danish warriors, axes and spears
Strike at the overlord’s fortress and shields,
War waged on as days turned to years
Children were born to this conflict and steered
The pathways of history these lands adhered to
A soon to be king named Edward was reared
Just one sibling born beat him here
Who after a tactical marriage reappeared as the widow of Nich La Clafed, Aethelflaed
Michan La Diga, queen before queens
A founding mother on a chessboard of kings
Ethereal whispers off skins and strings
Sing within God given murmurs and ring
Through actions as plans were mapped out to bring
The bones of St Oswald back from the vikings
Thoughts of them soaring on angelic wings
In the minds of followers and warriors during
Attempts at reprisal, assuring the sure thing of victory battling on fields of Woden.
Fixed up the old and built on the Roman
Ruins, replenishing what become broken
A thousand years pass, millennia flows
She’s still remembered in lyrics and prose
Remains are resting in Gloucester,
Her soul scribed to the history of stories told
Michan La Diga, Lady Of Mercia
Tales of her actions spanning a millennia
Nich La Clafed, passed on the power
Widowed was Alfred's first born daughter
Took to the path that was plotted before her
Adopted the tactics of war from her father
Saga eclipsed by her husband and brother
These words were written for a founding mother…..
Aethelflaed
Noble Beauty
Delight Of Her Subjects
And The Dread Of Her Enemies
Woman Of Enlarged Soul,
A Thousand Years Pass And Millennia Flows
Still she’s remembered in lyrics and prose.
