Aelianora de Wyntringham (or alternately, Wintringham) is a companion of the Orders of the Jambe de Lion and the Goutte de Sang currently residing in Dragon's Laire.
Persona
Aelianora was born to a wealthy gentleman farmer in the early-mid 1500s. Her family owns estates around Wintringham [1] in the East (now North) Riding of Yorkshire, England, east of the provincial capital of York. She was married at a young age to her family's patron's youngest son, a merchant many years older than her. She outlived him, and married again, to a wealthy merchant from Newcastle-upon-Tyne[2], Northumberland. She currently lives in a large house on Sandhill near the Quayside in Newcastle. Unfortunately her second husband passed away during a journey to Italy for the Queen and she remains a wealthy widow, possessor of the house in Newcastle, farms in Northumberland and Yorkshire and a small house in York.
Alternate Personae: Aelianora sometimes appears, especially around cheese, milk, milk animals and other foods in preparation, as her own dairy maid, Cicely.
