She did a bit of scribal arts.  

Gwaelyn has a Court Barony, but I don't believe she did.  Gwaelyn could easily have been Gerald of
Leesville's long lost brother, as the booming voice he had, and was well know as a court herald
and bard.  

They fell on some hard times, when the region down near Freeport flooded badly some years back,
then he went up to Sam Houston to finish his degree, and she finally followed him there, and I
lost track of them after that.  

You could check with Leona of Remington, formerly of Torre, and perhaps Wulf Fairhair, if he and
his lady are still lurking around - they show up ever so often.  Leona is probably online, don't
know about Wulf.  

We miss them. 
Good luck, Hillary
