Bonesig Angharat Goch verch Gwenhover.
Originally from the Barony of Bergental in the Kingdom of the East, Angharat has lived in Caid since the winter of AS XLVI. She is the daughter of Ginevra of Bergental, and the niece of Lord Eli of Bergental.
Persona
Born on Ynys Mon (Isle of Angelsey, Northern Wales) in 1387, Angharat is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy landed knight. She grew up entranced by the legends and lore of her people - most especially the Arthurian myth cycles and the ancient British mythology collection known as the Mabinogion. Blessed to be born with an unusually educated grandmother and doting grandfather, Angharat is literate in Welsh and fluent in both French and English, as well as her native tongue.
She was fostered by her aunt and uncle in Eryri (Snowdonia, mountainous North Wales), where her greatest joys included reading, singing and other bardic pursuits, as well riding her pony, Gwynn. Angharat is a proud patriot and early supporter of Owain Glyndwr, who during her lifetime has lead the Welsh to freedom from Norman oppression. When not on pilgrimage or visiting family, she resides on her aunt's rural estates in the Snowdonian mountains, near Lake Glaslyn.
