Barbara Bancroft

From Honorverse

Barbara Bancroft was a citizen of Grayson in the 12th Century PD.

During the Grayson Civil War, Bancroft was on the Faithful side until she discovered that the Faithful had built a doomsday device. She then defected to the Moderates and informed them of the device to save her children. This eventually led to the defeat of the Faithful, and their exile to Masada.

Bancroft was revered as a heroine of Grayson, being called the Mother of Grayson, while she was called the Harlot of Satan by the Faithful. They made Bancroft the living example of their Doctrine of the Second Fall.

Some on Grayson even compare her to the Lady of the Lake, a mythological figure. (HH2)
