Alys Strongbow

Alys Strongbow has always been a woman in control.  Her husband, a Bole of the Wolfswood, was a rather foolish man and it was clear to most that Alys was the real ruler of Fletcher's Hall.  They only produced one child, Edel Strongbow, but he was enough for the house.  When the Bole died a few years after Edel's birth few Strongbows mourned and Alys went on ruling much as before.  She is a formidable old woman now, renown for her skill with a bow and as a steward of the house, and rules ably.
