AB This article considers three of King Alfred’s descendants as warriors and epic heroes: hisgrandsons Æthelstan and Eadmund, and his elder daughter Æthelflæd, «Lady of theMercians», with particular attention to the latter, and her contribution to the fight againstthe vikings and the ultimate shaping of England as a nation. Their characterisation as epicheroes departs from the models in Anglo-Saxon epic poetry, especially Beowulf and Judith.Some brief notes on fiction works of various kinds dealing with Alfred the Great and hisdescendants complete the study
