I grew up in the city of Tralee, located in County Kerry. Daughter of court musician, Griffin mac Crohan and his wife Emma who tragically died during childbirth. At the age of 10 I was taken into service by the family Fitzgerald to be an attendant and companion to Lady Alyson, the daughter of "The Green Knight of Kerry" Lord John Fitzgerald. I spent most of my time at their "country estate" in the seaside town of Dingle.
