Early Life

Aeldin (1891-1903)

Henriette was born on the 15th of the Deep Cold, 1891 in Ulmsbottom, Aeldin to Hughes Laurent Ashford de Savoie-Lewes and Anna Clementina of Aldersberg. During her juvenile years, she resided primarily in Ulmsbottom, most people questioned her pale complexion as she appeared to possess a distinct tone of skin in comparison to her siblings, causing some curiosity among those who observed her. There is no further information regarding the upbringing of Henriette, though it is said that she had an uncomplicated childhood.

Almaris (1903-1926)

United Kingdom of Aaun

Sometime after her thirteenth name day, an untimely accident of her parents occurred, which resulted in the de Lewes children embarking on a sea voyage to Almaris. Upon their arrival to New Vienne, Henriette promptly became a ward under Queen Eleanor of Aaun, where she had been given a variety of lessons, later becoming a Lady-in-Waiting.


'The Duchess of Minitz' c.1912

Duchess of Minitz (1912-1928)

In the year 1909, Queen Eleanor of Aaun arranged a meeting with the recently inherited Duke of Minitz, with the intention of discussing a potential betrothal between him and Henriette, to which he had consented. Initially, Henriette was reluctant about attending as there was a circumstance that transpired not so long beforehand that regarded her younger sister, Lucia, who was at risk of being branded by the Minitz Warband.

Subsequent to the betrothal, Henriette maintained a frequent pattern of visitation to the Duchy of Minitz where she had grown fond of the young Duke in the period leading up to their nuptials. In 1912, Henriette issued a missive regarding the matrimony, titled 'Reinmaren Matrimony'[1], having her dearest friend Amelia Varoche as her Maid of Honor and her eldest brother Fernand, Baron of Virdain escorting her. The matrimonial ceremony was officiated by the esteemed High Pontiff Pontian IV within The Basilica of St. Alexander of Furnestock.
