## History

Lyra's mother is Marisa Coulter, a beautiful scholar who was married to the politician Edward Coulter. Marisa fell in love with the famously rich explorer Lord Asriel and had an affair with him. It was clear that when Lyra was born, she was not Edward Coulter's daughter. Fearing the wrath of her husband, Marisa told everyone that the baby had died and hid her daughter. She sent Lyra to Oxfordshire, where Lyra's father Lord Asriel had several estates. The infant Lyra was placed in the care of a gyptian woman while they was there.

However, it wasn't long before someone told Edward about his wife's actions. He found his way onto Asriel's land with the intent to kill Lyra. Although Asriel was away hunting, he received word of this and was able to return home in time to defend his daughter and their nurse as well as Four Year Old, Teddy Coulter, who was inside the house with the girls. Asriel killed Edward during the battle between them, but as a result, Asriel lost all his wealth to fines. Marisa wanted nothing more to do with her daughter and Lyra was put in the care of Godstow Priory in Wolvercote.

Lyra settled in with the nuns, mostly with Sister Fenella, whom she only ever really felt comfortable with. Her bedroom was in the priory's parlour, where the nuns would receive guests, this room was painted not long after she came. Malcolm Polstead, a boy from The Trout Inn across the River Thames from the priory, would often visit Lyra.

During the flooding of 1986 when Lyra was about a year old, she was rescued by Malcolm and Alice Parslow. They took the infant Lyra on a long and dangerous journey along the flooded river to reach Lord Asriel in London. Lord Asriel wanted Lyra to be raised at Jordan College and brought the three back to Oxford in his gyropter. Lyra was given scholastic sanctuary at Jordan College.
