I used the life of Emma in part as the base of a character in a current novel I am working on. Amazing woman, and utterly ruthless that is no doubt. Emma was very intelligent and beautiful by all accounts. That she was tenacious in maintaining her dynasty is not to be understated. Anyway, I simply could not help but pull from her life to help build a story arc from.

The early middle ages was between the 5th and 10th century so technically, the title video because Emma was a queen consort between 1002 and 1035 so she was from the high middle ages. Unless it was a purely anglo-centric view, there's three possibility as the early middle ages ending with 888 when the carolingian ceased to have one ruler, 987 when the last carolingian ruler by male line was deposed or 1066 with the vikings era ending.

1:45 we actually don't know when Emma was born. It's possible she was born in 984- but there's almost nothing to suggest it considering the time period, so it's impossible to pin down an exact birth date.

984 would likely make Emma younger than her sister Hawise who had three sons in the 990s.

Duke Richard I’s mother was Sprota the Breton. His father William ‘Longsword’’s mother Poppa of Bayeux was Gallic with a surmised Breton ancestry. Rollo’s name sounds Breton. William the Conqueror’s mother Herleva’s name isn’t Germanic. Herleva’s husband’s name Herluin is Celtic.
