Fionnguala inghean ui Murchaidh was born in 1331, in what is now known as county Clare in Northern Ireland. Her mother, the wayward daughter of the O'Neill Chief, married the leader of the gallowglass mercenaries her father had hired to protect the clan. Her noble born father, from Scotland originally, had become a gallowglass in search of adventure and had found love instead.
Fionnguala was taught martial defense and wilderness skills by her father, and industriousness and hand skills by her mother. When both of her parents were overcome by the plague in the summer of 1349, she was forced to depend on those skills as she rebuilt her life. She quickly married and produced two wee lasses; however, her husband died from the plague in the next outbreak and she was left a widow with two young children. At this point she retreated from society for a goodly length of time to raise her daughters in the relative safety of the country. She returned to civilization after a period of time and threw herself into all of the wonderful activities she had missed in her absence.
In an alternate universe, Fionnguala is known as Leyla Haslebacher, and surprisingly their story lines are quite similar. Leyla joined the SCA in 1998 and enjoyed several seasons as a war archer for Lionsdale. Although her husband didn't die of the plague, he did get divorced, and Leyla was forced to retreat from the game when she discovered making garb for two rapidly growing daughters was too much of a challenge for a newly single parent. Once the heaviest parts of childrearing had passed, Leyla returned to the SCA with enthusiasm.
