While medieval women did not have extensive rights, there were definitely exceptions to the rule: one of them being Cynethryth, Queen of Mercia and wife of King Offa. She is said to have existed between the period 770-798, although her exact birth and death dates are unknown. During Cynethryth's lifetime, Mercia was an extremely powerful kingdom dominating the entire area south of the Humber estuary. Her husband, King Offa, was a powerful king, who ruled Mercia from 757-796. Today we talk about what we know of her.
