Biography[]
She is a Nord woman from the Northern lands (the Nord homeland). She is the daughter of a thane and was married to another thane, who allowed her to fight alongside him. Her husband died of plague and she inherited his lands as he declared in his will, but her brother-in-law claimed that a woman could not rule as a thane and bribed the servants to overthrow Matheld. She was forced to flee to Calradia, where she hoped to collect enough money to raise an army and reclaim her rightful inheritance.
