## Biography

### Early life (254 ASB - 289 ASB)

Matilda Sectile (born Matilda Basil) was born in the city of Elmhurst to Ben Basil and his wife Kye Basil, at the time of her birth her uncle Reuben Basil was the Duke of Greater Elmhurst.

On M3-13 278 ASB Matilda Sectile under the advise of her uncle Reuben married Duke Roland Sectile of the Duchy of Terracotta City once married she took his last name.

The War of Clay Restoration began on M1-22 282 ASB, Roland attempted to leave Matilda behind in Terracotta City whilst he went off to war, Matilda protested was subsequently invited to accompany him as one of the many non-combats accompanying his forces.

On M8-04 289 Roland Sectile was wounded at the Battle for Vundarf and fell into a coma, as instructed by his will Matilda Sectile became his regent.

### Regent of the Duchy of Terracotta City (289 ASB - 290 ASB)

Following the Battle of Vundarf Matilda had her comatose husband brought back to Terracotta City whilst she remained with his forces.

Matilda Sectile rejoined her husband's forces on M1-05 290 ASB so that she could be there when they captured the capital of Jarnvattan which they did on M2-29 290 ASB. The vassals who captured the city debated over who should replace the overthrown Achille II, it was decided the next day that Roland Sectile would become the next King of Clayistan under the regnal name Claymore I, Matilda Sectile would act as his regent.

### Regent of Clayistan (290 ASB - 302 ASB)

Matilda's first action as regent took place on M3-01 290 ASB when she moved the capital of the Kingdom of Clayistan from Jarnvattan to Terracotta City, she also had the city of Jarnvattan absorbed into the Duchy of Iron Lake and granted that duchy to her brother-in-law Payden Sectile. On M3-02 290 ASB Matilda appointed her brother Jeffery Basil to the position of Governor of Osilicat. On M3-04 290 ASB whilst still in Jarnvattan Matilda Sectile gave birth to a son who she named Silvester Sectile.

On M11-22 291 ASB Matilda Sectile commissioned a series of expansions to the Terracotta Palace which would turn it into one of the largest palaces in Clayistan.

Early in 302 ASB Claymore I's health began to fail, Matilda expected him to be dead before the end of the year and fully expected her son to succeed him despite growing rumors of the child being illegitimate. On M3-21 302 ASB Payden Sectile arrived at the Terracotta Palace, he claimed that he was visiting his brother whilst he was still alive though Matilda suspected his true intensions where more selfish. Matilda's suspicions were in her mind confirmed when more vassals began appearing at the palace most of which believed that Silvester Sectile was illegitimate. By M5-01 302 ASB Matilda feared for the well being of both herself, she decided that her best course of action was to travel to Osilicat with her son and stay with her brother. On M5-04 whilst in the city of Cagliata Matilda learned over radio that her husband had died and that Payden Sectile had been declared King of Clayistan under the regnal name Claymore II. Matilda contacted Claymore II as she did not know what else to do, Claymore II decided that he would give Silvester Sectile the Duchy of Iron Lake, he also requested that Silvester Sectile stand down as the head of the House of Sectile. On M5-06 Matilda Sectile had her son stand down as the head of the House of Sectile.

### Later life (302 ASB - 355 ASB)

On M5-28 302 ASB Silvester Sectile appointed Matilda to serve as his regent.

Silvester Sectile's regency ended on M3-04 308 ASB, Matilda remained in her son's court as an advisor.

Matilda Sectile died on M11-11 355 ASB when an escaped hog ran her down.
