Estrill the Gildenhair of WintersHame

Born in 1135, in the rural setting of Petronilla, France, Estrill is the
seventh child to Machillian Bleodsian (The first born son to an English
Lord, Hillian the Red ) and Izabet Mere- Affectueuse ( 11th daughter to
Spohie Mere- Perles). At a young age she surrounded herself with like
sationed women of the petty noble caste and created the Petite Cour de
Abeilles.... .or the "Little Court of Bee's". A sorority that groomed and
honed her studies of chivalrous lore, courtly ethics and the arts of
Troubadorian professes. At the age of 16 she was inspired by Eleanor
de Aquitaine,for her courage, devotion and beauty and vowed herself to
the service of others and the protection of those of true heart.  

Estrill honored her oath and sacrament, at the age of 21, upon the
burial mound of the Blessed Magdalene, where she fasted and wrote
her little known poem "pour la beauté, pour l'amour, pour la vérité". It
recieved no acclaim and to this day, only her father finds it to be
pleasing, much like her singing voice.

After such dedication to the flourishing tributes of love in all it's forms,
she traveled to England with two of her elder siblings. Hidden away in
the steeps that borderd the forrests from the shores, in the House of
WintersHame, she turned her study towards faith and the lore of
mythology. She also persued the family business of animal husbandry.
Raising and training the pale coated "noble" horses of WintersHame,
highly sought from her fathers stables.

In 1158, she married at the age of 23 to an Englishman, Cody
AndersSon (Second son to the House of Bingham). They met, by
chance, upon the misted banks of the cold northern sound, at the Feast
of Fools celebration. He still declares that he wasn't searching for
women of ill-repute and she still attests that she "merely came for the
dancing". Her beloved husband has traveled for five years in the
Crusade to the Holy Lands, promising a better life of comfort and titles
through his endeavours.

Before her husband departed for his most recent holy calling, he
purchased for her a small house, Chateau Bonheur near the Canton of
Summersgate, upon the oceanside; so that she may awaken every
morning to watch for his return and send her prayers upon the waves to
reach him.

She had the fortune to meet the HOC's, a little over a year ago, and has
since become a true friend and deep supporter to the noble Brethren of
the Hospitallers. She has also created a small "household" in the the
Barony Calafia, The Company of Aurora Borealis, that recognizes and
awards acts and feats of Chivalry within the Kingdom of CAID.

She enjoys teasing, skipping, sweets, poetry, dancing and her favourite
colour is blue!

From Yon
Estrill- Aside from all ways horking
down a Braut or two and chugging a
pint  every time i see her, what can i
say, She's all ways out going, care free
and ready to find some fun and
"mischief" if that's what you really call it
haha,  even when hard at work helping
out around camp, or lugging water to
the fighters, her light hearted happy go
lucky attitude is all ways contagious
and brings a smile to those around.  :)  
... but that's if you can get past the
smell.

What greater gift of myself may I give? That in
which the light of my eyes have seen the horror
and wickedness of this world, and yet in such
fragile moments have I found compassion
amungst the bloodstained, the broken, the
beaten, by weather and storm.  I would bleed
beside you, stuck in that same rib, with the light
of the world fading before ever I would profess
dis-honesty or false-friendship. Let me then,
take comfort in your proud side. Find strength in
your silence. Let me show you now, the greater
glory of my self in self-lessness. For there is no
greater act of love then to give all that I may
give and ask for nothing in return."
