Oh I see, thanks for the explanation. My focus is more on female leadership representation in a medieval setting, less on spinoffs in general.
You could try the Mists of Avalon, it’s a book about the Arthur legend, magic and all, told from the perspective of the women involved. I enjoyed it, but admittedly I read it decades ago.
It’s maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but might scratch the itch all the same :)
Thanks :) my hunt is specifically for respected female leadership at the center of the narrative. It's hard to find, especially done very well. I like Joan of Arc stories, for example.
Then you might like mists of Avalon :) it’s about powerful women and their role in common lore, though it’s fiction :) it was written by a woman if that helps, Marion zimmer Bradley (why I remember that is unknown, but I do. I misplaced my copy many many moves ago)
Either way I wish you luck on your hunt! That’s the only thing I know of that might work, sorry I can’t suggest further!
