Aliénor d'Eure is a vaguely French noblewoman in a vaguely defined time
period, say, 1200-1300's, though the name appears to have been passed
matrilineally, as her descendants also share it. :) In other words she is
the catch-all persona of a SCAdian named Erin, who plays in the Barony
of Carolingia with widely varying degrees of frequency. Aliénor/Erin's
interests include sewing, knitting, music, storytelling, and lots of other
interesting things that she doesn't have time to pursue.
