Mered Eymor

Mered Eymor was a Baethla and Margrave of West Mercia during the early First Age of Hycath. The daughter of Alice Eymor, she briefly accompanied her mother on her quest to recruit Hycathic allies to the cause of Empress Matilda in the First Hycath War.

After reaching Coventry while accompanying her mother’s quest for allies, Mered was taken in by her grandmother Meredith Eymor, as Alice grew concerned for her daughter’s safety. While residing in Coventry, Mered would receive the bulk of her Hycathic education from her grandmother.

Alice’s death at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141 meant that Maud awarded the Marcdom of West Mercia to her posthumously; since Mered was still underage, she did not inherit it for another year. She would hold this title until YE 43 before passing it on to her own daughter, Alice.

Although initially resentful of her mother due to a sense of abandonment, Mered came to understand and appreciate the sacrifice that her mother made for her, and all other Hycathae, as she grew into her role as Margrave.
