Thyra

The story of an English princess, a Danish king and a wall. Before she became a legend she was just known as Thyra, the unimportant daughter of the English king. She was no fool and knew what her future held for her: marriage or a nunnery. Neither option particularly appealed to her. Then an offer for her hand is made by a mischievous looking lord from across the sea. Despite her family's wishes she refuses to sell herself short. She agrees to marry him but in exchange he must give her a kingdom. After all, if she is going to tie her fate to a stranger, she might as well be a queen. In time she would be called the Pride of Denmark but for now she is just Thyra...This book is part of the Forgotten Women of History series but can be read as a standalone.
