Queen Wilfrida I

Queen Wilfrida was the oldest of King Adalhardt II's four daughters and thus the heir to his throne. Feeling secure in her position, Wilfrida did little to curry the favor of the nobles or even her younger sisters. It came as no surprise to anyone but her that her rule was challenged fairly quickly by her youngest sister Adelinde. Refusing to compromise with her sister's ambitions, Wilfrida had her arrested but she quickly escaped with the aid of a sympathetic company of soldiers. Wilfrida was assassinated almost immediately following Adelinde's escape. This plunged Andromache into a bloody civil war between Adelinde and her two remaining older sisters which lasted 13 years before Adelinde emerged victorious.
