Tomas (The Triple Knife)

Using the alias Alys, Ashildr married Tomas and stayed with him for twenty years. Their relationship produced three children: Essie, Johann, and Rue. Essie was unexpected and Ashildr believed she did not want children until Essie was born, then she realised how much she loved her daughter. She decided to have two more children so that they could comfort one another one day when she would inevitably leave them to protect the secret of her immortality. On 9 August 1348, Ashildr took her children and left their lives in France on a boat for Britain. She chose to leave Tomas because she feared his growing comments about how having three children in twenty years didn't appear to have changed her body and he would ask if her hair grew.
