Hildegarde Cromwell

Hildegarde Cromwell, also known as the Dowager Countess of Westglen, is the current reigning noble of the House of Cromwell. She currently leads the County of Westglen and is currently residing in Highmore. She is the widow of Claude Cromwell, first son of Oliver Cromwell. Due to the lack of a clear heir, she inherited the seat of Westglen and has spent most of her life devoted to its continued success and prosperity.

Hildegarde was a young noble when she met Claude Cromwell and eventually married him, taking the Cromwell name as her own. While she's often hailed as a benevolent and popular leader by the people of Westglen, the years have not been very kind to Hildegarde. She has brittle bones, and like most older woman, has shrunk quite substantially in height. Moreover, she's often confused as a female dwarf because of her height and stature, which she often takes in stride.
