"...Aelfthryth appears as a witness in a significant number of her husband [King Edgar's] charters. Moreover, Aelfthryth is the first royal woman in England to regularly subscribe charters as regina. And, of course, Aelfthryth is the first recorded native-born English woman to be crowned as a queen consort to a king of the West Saxon dynasty. Arguably, however, all these legitimating activities placed her in better stead to exercise power as queen mother than as queen consort. For all the unprecedented recognition she receives as queen during her tenure as royal consort, it is in the early years of Aethelred reign, as the mother [and effective regent] of a minor ruler, that Aelfthryth truly reached the apex of her agency as queen."

-Matthew Firth, Early English Queens, 850-1000: Potestas Reginae

"While the transmission and adaption of Aelfthryth's reputation over time is a fascinating subject in its own right, it is unfortunate that the biography of the first-known crowned queen consort of England has been overshadowed by a single moment of scandal. The woman who comes into focus from contemporary sources was a remarkably adept player of the politics of the kingdom. While her agency remained delimited by her relationship to the king, she can also take great credit for testing the boundaries of what it meant to be a queen in late Anglo-Saxon England. Like the men who surrounded her, she understood the importance of making and maintaining political alliances. She recognised the importance of patronising the Church and forging relationships with ecclesiastical lords. She realised the opportunity that acting as an advocate at court for women and for clerics would afford her. Most of all, when Aelfthryth saw an opportunity for personal political advancement, she took it. As such, whether intended or not, Aelfthryth set new precedents and prerogatives for her successors and so materially moved the role of the queen towards one of political office."

Inktober, Day 26: Camera

Here is Elfrida from the classic children's book The House of Arden by Edith Nesbit. She and her brother Edred travelled back in time from the early 1900s to the early 1600s, bringing a camera. But all they want is to take photos of their ancestral castle back when it was in good shape.

I could know the ‘place of inward retirement’ wherever I was, or whatever I was doing, and find the spiritual refreshment for which, knowingly or unknowingly, I was longing, and hear the voice of God in my heart. Thus I began to realise that prayer was not a formality, or an obligation, it was a place which was there all the time and always available.

Aelfthryth must have been very much aware of her vulnerability in the case that Edgar died. She had arrived at a court where there was already a male heir to the throne and from which two consorts had already been expelled. In ensuring that her legitimacy and that of her son was publicly declared, Aelfthryth may well have been planning for a future without Edgar. After all, none of the West Saxon kings were especially long-lived.

Observing the patterns of Aelfthryth's charter witnessing, it is notable that no authentic charter gives her the title regina until 968. Whatever moves were being made to distinguish her from other queen consorts, in her early years in the role this was limited to public acknowledgement of her as the king’s wife. Aelfthryth witnessed only one other legitimate charter in 966 in which she appears as fifth witness with the title coniunx regis (wife of the king) (S739). Edmund does not appear, perhaps this charter was issued before his birth, but Edward subscribes as second witness where he is designated as clito, his father’s heir. Aelfthryth, named as Edgar’s ambilis coniunx (beloved wife), is also given another estate by Edgar this year, this time in Dorset near her family’s powerbase. Aelfthryth appears in no charters in 967.

Not only does Aelfthryth begin to attest charters as regina from 968, but she also starts to appear more regularly in administrative documents, if not in a more prominent position. She witnessed ten authentic charters from this year through to Edgar’s death in 975 and appears in the corpus of several others. The question is, what changed in 968? There are likely several factors at play. In the first instance, Aelfthryth had given birth to a second son, Aethelred, around this time. The birth of another heir prompted Edgar to further augment his wife’s status. However, the idea to designate Aelfthryth as regina was unlikely to have been his alone. By this stage, Aelfthryth's key allies held prominent positions at court. Æthelwold appears first among the bishops of the realm in charter witness lists, while Ælfhere and Ælfheah are usually at or near the head of the list of witnessing secular lords. This trio may have advocated for Aelfthryth to be styled as regina in the hope that she in turn would be better positioned to advocate for their interests at the court. Finally, it is important to recall that any such political manoeuvres were taking place against the backdrop of the tenth-century Church reforms of which Edgar was an enthusiastic supporter. Sacral kingship was one of the key ideas being promoted by the reformers and, as evidenced by the Regularis Concordia issued only two years later, Æthelwold, in particular, envisaged that a queen would stand at the king’s side and share in his duties to the Church. It may then represent the year in which Æthelwold’s theory was put into practice, though it is probably a combination of these factors that saw Aelfthryth formally adopt the title of queen in that year.

Elfrida Andrée

Elfrida Andrée, compositrice, è stata la prima donna svedese a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Tra le prime organiste ufficialmente riconosciute in Scandinavia, nel 1899 ha composto l’opera Fritiofs saga con libretto di Selma Lagerlöf, scrittrice premio Nobel per la Letteratura.

Nata a Visby il 19 febbraio 1841, la musica ha fatto parte della sua vita sin da bambina.

A sedici anni aveva già conseguito il diploma di organista presso la Reale Accademia di Musica ma alle donne non era permesso di esercitare.

C’è voluto tempo e tenacia, affinché riuscisse a far eliminare l’ostacolo legislativo, nel 1861.

Dal 1867 è stata l’organista ufficiale della Cattedrale di Göteborg.

Per perseguire il suo sogno si è scontrata con i pregiudizi maschili, il compositore danese Niels Gade, all’inizio, l’aveva osteggiata in ogni modo per poi cambiare idea quando si era reso conto di avere a che fare con un considerevole talento.

Elfrida Andrée ha diretto circa ottocento Concerti popolari e prodotto oltre cento brani.

Nel 1895 ha vinto il premio Litteris et Artibus e nel 1908 è entrata a far parte dell’Accademia delle donne.

Eletta nell’Accademia Reale di Musica, nel 1897, venne nominata a capo dei Concerti dell’Istituto dei lavoratori di Göteborg, diventando la prima donna in Svezia a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Attiva nel movimento per i diritti delle donne, ha formato diverse musiciste sostenendo la loro presenza nel mondo dell’interpretazione e della composizione musicale.

Ha scritto diversi componimenti per orchestra tra cui due sinfonie (suonate ancora oggi), diversi pezzi per violino e per pianoforte, due messe svedesi, la ballata corale Snöfrid del 1879 e diversi lieder.

Si è spenta l’11 gennaio 1929 a Göteborg.

Interesting how Vidal puts the focus on Edred while I always saw Elfrida as the more central character of the duo. Also, "who have not the gift"? Elfrida was at least able to write rhymed verse that sufficed to summon Mouldiewarp, while Edred found himself incapable of that. While I salute Vidal for recognizing this book as an excellent one, I can see a certain sexist bias in how he sums it up...

Gore Vidal on E. Nesbit's The House of Arden

[I]n The House of Arden a contemporary boy, Edred, must be tested before he can become Lord Arden and restore the family fortunes. He meets the Mouldiwarp (a mole who appears on the family coat-of-arms). This magic creature can be summoned only by poetry, freshly composed in its honor—a considerable strain on Edred and his sister Elfrida who have not the gift. There are adventures in the past and the present, and the story of Richard Harding crosses their own. The magic comes and goes in a most interesting way.
