Personal history
Ealdgyð is the daughter born of the adulterous affair between the knight Sir Éadsige of Copperrun and a barmaid named Herehild. Sir Éadsige met Herehild at the Twilight Nymph tavern in the city of Lakemouth, and wooed her in a one-night affair. Since their encounter, Herehild never saw Éadsige again, and when she learned that she was with child, Herehild attempted to send letters to Éadsige informing him of this news, though he never wrote back. Ealdgyð was born on the 21st of August, 724 AS, in the small hovel in which her mother lived. She grew up in poverty, her mother struggled to afford her upbringing with a meager barmaid's wages. Herehild did not hide who her father was, but Ealdgyð resented the actions of Éadsige.
In March of 741, Sir Éadsige spent the month visiting his father Óhtbehrt in Lakemouth for the funeral of his mother, Brúnswíð. By chance, Ealdgyð overheard about the upcoming funeral from some Soul Guides, and she loitered around the Temple of Heortescrín for days for Éadsige or Óhtbehrt to show up. They came to speak to the Soul Guides to make final arrangements for the funeral and Ealdgyð stalked them back to their home, where she observed their comings and goings from their residence in the Upper Houses of the city. On the evening of the 23rd of March, Ealdgyð tailed her father as he left to carouse at a nearby tavern and waylaid him when there were no passersby. She demanded that Éadsige help her and her mother, though her father admitted to not remembering who Herehild was. Enraged, Ealdgyð lunged at her father, drew his dagger from its sheath and stabbed Éadsige several times before he was incapacitated. Shocked by her own actions, Ealdgyð froze over the body of her dying father and watched him die from blood loss. Not long after, a passerby called for the guard and Ealdgyð was arrested.
Four days later on an Oathday, the 26th of March, Ealdgyð was tried for the murder of Sir Éadsige, the trial presided over by Sworn Judge Þegnbehrt. She admitted to the murder, and since her mother could not pay the blood price of 4,000 pounds, Ealdgyð was sentenced to a life of servitude to the Cunning Pack at Monaceadu Keep.
