SO what group would they fit in with and how would they look in the 21st Century? Especially Maud and Elfleda.

I think we covered that
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 10/27/2009 - 14:16.I think we covered that ground in the "Lothere circa 2008" thread.
I don't really get Elfleda being a socialite though. Nor Maud either. Elfleda might have been happier in modern times since she would have had the chance to have a career. I think she would have liked to have been busy in that way. She kept a really tidy house, but it always seemed beneath her somehow. She was clever in her way.
Maud would have been more like an unhappy trophy wife probably. Pressured by her family (in this case her uncle the Bishop or whatever) into marrying up-and-coming political superstar Sigefrith. She would have had affairs and had a nervous breakdown and finally been institutionalized. As Comgeall famously said, "A man cannot escape his fate."
