Sixty-fifth Queen of the Middle Kingdom, Dame Alys was already a member of the Order of the Pelican and the Order of the
Laurel (for her work with confections and cookery research) when Valharic won the Crown for her. She served as the first
and third Kingdom Chatelaine, as well as the Society Chatelaine for five years, and is most proud of her work welcoming newcomers to the SCA. She coordinated the [[Pennsic]] University classes for six years, including five in a row. Countess Alys is also an accomplished court [[herald]]. She has been [[Pale Herald]] for 15 years, retiring from that position at the end of December 2017. She serves as proofreader for [[The Pale]] and [[Compleat Anachronist]].

== Miscellany ==

When Alys was about eight years old, a fortune teller told her that one day she would be a queen. As she grew older and
left high school, the fortune teller's prediction faded from memory. Years passed and, when her son was in high school,
Alys drove him and his friend, now known as Valharic, to SCA meetings. A few more years passed. Valharic was knighted, and
at Pennsic in 2001 asked, "How would you like to be Queen of the Midrealm?" She agreed to let Valharic fight for her in
the fall Crown Tourney. On her way home from Pennsic, all of a sudden the memory of the fortune teller's prediction
returned. Valharic won the tourney and in spring Alys became the oldest reigning queen in the SCA, losing that
distinction three years later to a queen in the West Kingdom.
