A fun read about a royal woman in medieval England who is believed to be the root cause of the kingdom falling. Personally, I like the perspective that she and King Lothar II were actually in love and all the nastiness historians have on Waldra is nothing but the defamation put out by his wife Theutberga. We don't have any way of knowing for sure, but that's how I'm going to interpret this event when I adapt it into my own writing, for the drama ๐Ÿ˜Ž
