Ser Tanree of Winterbourne Stoke

A noble second born lady, married young for politics. Her husband died in the Treachery of the Long Knives, and she went on to become a knight on her own, rather than accept the offers of those who still lived and clamored for a wife. Her husband, Aeddan, was Maurel 's sworn brother, and while she and Aeddan considered each other friends, the pressure of family stifled anything further from developing. Instead, through her husband she found support and companionship with Maurel and Aenailes. In the aftermath of Aeddan's death, Maurel and Aenailes continued to be her pillars of support... And love.

Timeline

 * Born in 448
 * Became a squire of Maurel in 463
 * Combined houses with Aenailes in the wake of Maurel 's death in 467
 * Knighted in 469 and immediately sent to join the raids into saxon and pictish holdings.
 * When the saxons march into the Thames Valley in 473, she is sent to join the King's army to push them back. She returns, injured, but alive, and while she could not possibly return home to her saxon lover and children with hate in her heart for saxons, she does return with a strengthened hate for these conflicts and for Hengest. Aenailes is also forced to quietly coax her down from her own lack of tolerance for those who are bitter and hateful towards saxons as a whole, whispering softly that she can hurt for their home without nurturing new hates.
 * The following years see her serving garrison duty and fighting off saxon raiders and protecting her home and citizens from neighbors who would blame them. In these years they, compared to their neighbors, see a great change in the peasantry of their lands, as those citizens of saxon descent who settled elsewhere in Salisbury flee persecution in their own homes, and those of their land who nurtured a hatred for all things saxon go elsewhere when they find their anger stifled.
 * In 478, the Earl is kind, and does not ask her to join the king's fleet, and instead keeps her close, asking instead for her to fight off the saxon raids and help keep the peace within Salisbury. She builds a name for herself as a lightning strike, bringing those who would raise arms to a sudden and violent end, and in 480 when the saxon's sail into Salisbury, she is the first to volunteer for the fighting, bringing that same quick end to the saxons she faces at Menevia.
 * Took Donovan on as a squire in 476 and gave him a place to live and learn with her own new family at Winterbourne Stokes. Despite this, her own turmoil about the battles and unrest make her a distant mentor, and she doesn't see how she's failed him until it is too late to repair the damage.
 * After Menevia, the Earl keeps her close to home, both as a kindness to let her heal from injuries suffered, but also to rebuild unity and peace among the nobles and peasantry alike in the wake of the invasions. When Uther calls for more knights to retake Eburacum, she is sent, along with Donovan to fight. One of the lucky few to return alive, she is still heavily injured, and spends the rest of 484 recovering, and all of 485 on light duty.
 * She is sent to fight on the mainland in 488 under Prince Madok, and is heavily injured, losing the use of her right arm and effectively ending her career as a knight.
