Aoife, also known as Aoife the Celt, was a former Queen of Hurmu and a Storish royal, and Regent of Stormark. She was elected Queen of Hurmu unanimously by the Senate of Hurmu in 1524 and stayed as queen until 1550 when a new constitution was written. Thereafter titled Queen among the Lakes as courtesy.
She was the only Queen that Hurmu had. In Hurmu her role was ceremonial. This did, however, not hinder her from being active in the senatorial discussions. She was, for example, against the idea that Hurmu should join the Grand Commonwealth as a member state.
She was married to Galinn Karisson until 1614, but had been estranged from him for a long time, when she applied for his legal death so that she could marry the 12-year old Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion. When Jonathan turned 16, a betrothal was decreed for the two. He detested the betrothal and procrastinated the wedding. In the end, he died in 1629 without having married her.
In the mid-1670s, she had an affair with Hallbjörn Haraldsson. A set of twins was born from this relationship, Ærinndís-Mael and Eochaid-Jonathan, in 1676.
She died in 1685 during the collapse of Stormark. Her body, along with her children's bodes, were recovered by the Order of the Holy Lakes in the aftermath of the collapse. Her nine-year-old children received a simple but dignified funeral on Lake Anset, while Aoife's body was unceremoniously incinerated and her ashes spread at sea.
