Persona:

• Lady Eawynn ingen Broccaín (born January 17, 1219), known in the Society as Lady Eawynn or Lady Badger, comes from a family of lesser nobility with both Anglo-Norman and Irish roots. Eawynn's mother, Alice, was the niece of Isabel de Clare, wife of William Marshal. When, upon King John's death in 1216, Marshal became regent of Henry III, Alice attended the young king in the Marshal home. Isabel and William were very fond of Alice and took her with them as they visited their estates in England, Wales, Normandy, and Ireland. While in Ireland, Isabel and William arranged for Alice's marriage to Feargal Broccán, a member of the powerful Clann Ó Domhnail. Alice and Feargal were devoted to Isabel and William and continued in their service, even after the birth of their only daughter, Eawynn. Only four months after Eawynn's birth, William Marshall died. Alice and Feargal stayed on with Isabel until her death less than one year later. Before her death and during her negotiations with the King of France for the return of her property in Normandy, Isabel had arranged for the infant Eawynn to be raised in Philip Augustus's court. When Philip died in 1223, his son, Louis VIII and his Queen and consort Blanche, sent Eawynn, then four years old, to Castile, where Eawynn grew up in the service of Blanche's parents, Alfonso VIII and Eleanor of England. In Castile, Eawynn benefited from Alfonso VIII's patronage of troubadours and trouveres, learning reading, writing, and music under their tutelage.
