Alys Clare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alys Clare (born 1944) as Elizabeth Harris is an English historical novelist of whodunnits set in the Medieval times, featuring the character of Abbess Helewise. Brought up in the countryside close to where the Hawkenlye Novels are set, she went to school in Tonbridge and later studied archaeology at the University of Kent. She lives for part of the year in Brittany, in a remote cottage deep in an ancient landscape where many past inhabitants have left their mark; on her doorstep are relics that date from the stone circles and dolmens of the Neolithic to the commanderies, chapels and ancient tracks of those infamous warrior monks, the Knights Templar.
