Born amongst the Saxons south of the Thames, Mildthryth has led an adventurous life, first among the people of Wychwood and Aescesdun near the source of the Thames, and then after her betrothal to Magnus Thorkelson, in her new home within Ousekjarr on the edge of the fens.

An educated woman (a rare creature indeed in these times), Mildthryth runs the Ousekjarr estates while Magnus prefers to spend his time in more military matters. She is also renowned for her work in teaching, with several of the children of minor local landowners being sent to her to be taught how to read and write.

Although women are not normally associated with warfare, Mildthryth is feared for her ability with the Danish Axe, which she swings with a dexterity which more than compensates for any lack of strength which some might expect from a woman. Although taught by Magnus, she is now the master of her weapon, and imparts this knowledge to those in her care. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the Danish Axe rules forcefully over both.
