The families of the Earls of Mercia series
I thought a little refresh might be in order with the release of The King’s Brother, so I’m resharing some genealogy tables I put together when working on The English King and Lady Estrid. These will, hopefully, point you in the right direction for the somewhat complex family dynamics in The King’s Brother.
The House of Leofwine
The family of King Æthelred II.
The children of Lady Emma, twice England’s queen.
The House of Godwine.
The family of Gytha, wife of Earl Godwine
I hope that helps. You can click on the tables to increase their size.
I'm a writer of historical fiction (Early England/Viking and the British Isles as a whole before 1066, as well as three 20th century mysteries), and a nonfiction title about the royal women of tenth century England.
