I find her interesting, and want to read more. Nonfiction is preferable, but fiction is good too.

I already have When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman, and now Lady of the English by Elizabeth Chadwick.

Marjorie Chibnall has written a biography of her:

'Warrior Queens' by Antonia Fraser is an interesting non-fiction discussion of women leaders in war throughout history. It has a chapter on Empress Maud and it's interesting to see her story in context with others.

Chibnall's is the main biography. I seem to recall that Nesta Payne (sp, not looked it up, might be Pain(e) ) wrote one but I haven't read it.
