I think you should keep her. Everyone likes a bit of romance and it will add tension. How will Edgwulf react should anything happen to her??? You could explain away her new arrival by saying Edgwulf has been keeping her a secret for her safety.
I think following your subconscious and having her die during childbirth (off-page) might be an interesting option. Sadly, it would have been the fate of many women at that time and gives you the added torment of Edgwulf losing both her and his child - all the emotions!

This is a good idea but I fear it would need a massive rewrite.
Couldn't you just sat Edgwulf decided it was time to introduce Leoflaed. I haven't read it so have no real idea what I'm talking about 😂

I like this, Kat, thank you. It will mean I'll have to rewrite the last few chapters but that's okay.
Hope the rewrite of the last few chapters isn't too tough!
I'll let you know.
