How do you pronounce Ælfgifu? An interview with Patricia Bracewell

Blessed ones,

You will find below my YouTube interview with historical novelist Patricia Bracewell.

We not only talk about her motivations for writing her 'Emma of Normandy trilogy' and the difficulties of writing a story from patchy history records, but we dive into the problematic world of eleventh-century names for a twenty-first-century readership. 

How do you pronounce Ælfgifu? How do you spell the king's name: is Ethelred right? What allowances does Patricia make for her audience?

You can let me know what you think of the interview here or on my YouTube channel, to which I know you are just itching to subscribe.

May you be blessed!
