Analysis: Ethel Fred, the mistress of Mercia, is a female hero and an outstanding female strategist. Since childhood, she didn't like dressing up, disdained housework and even refused to live with her husband's husband and wife, but she had a special liking for men's heroes. Before her husband died, she took part in the movement against the Vikings. In 907 AD, she presided over the restoration of the old wall of Chester.
