'All hope for the Éothéod rested now on the shoulders of Théodwyne Sternbrow. There are few stories of Théodwyne, but the ones that do exist are powerful tales. She was the first, and to my knowledge the only, woman to rule the Éothéod. It is safe to surmise that Théodwyne did not have the support of all the thanes. Let us see what we can find at Framsburg to piece together this tale.'
