When she’s 27, she’s forced to marry her cousin, her father’s younger brother’s son who is about 21. The marriage is not a happy one as he had a weakness for women and she was in love with a priest. Her husband was also a drunkard and she refuses to speak on their relationship. Slowly she suffers, and when her husband dies her son is crowned but the years of war and hardship have taken its toll and she’s abuses her son. The priest she’s in love with becomes High Priest of the Kingdom and they become lovers after Theodric is crowned. She rules his council with an iron fist for years, determined to bring about economic and religious prosperity. She is close to her daughter Elysande but has a complicated relationship with her son and a strained one with her other daughter, Sibylla.
