MariaMadita · 20/07/2018 21:11

No, sorry.

ElsieLee · 21/07/2018 10:06

Harmony? Destiny?

MariaMadita · 22/07/2018 07:03

No, not Harmony or Destiny either.

Maybe my clues are just bad, sorry...Blush

throwcushions · 22/07/2018 19:07

A difficult clue is a good clue!

MariaMadita · 23/07/2018 20:37

Maybe;) I just hope I didn't kill the game, tbh...🙊

throwcushions · 23/07/2018 22:06

Maybe another clue to help us out? Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 23/07/2018 22:11

Yes please, another clue please!

LadyGAgain · 23/07/2018 22:42

Please another clue! You've not killed the game. My brain is currently on other matters but I want to play Smile

MariaMadita · 24/07/2018 13:56

Oh good, I'm honestly relieved.GrinBlush

This old name (or any of its variations) has not been in the top 1000s in England and Wales since 1996 (The data unfortunately doesn't seem to go further) but our hero's story isn't unknown in the UK.

finallychangedmyusername · 25/07/2018 17:50

Helen?

FintyTin · 25/07/2018 19:28

Simone?

LadyGAgain · 25/07/2018 20:35

Leona?

FintyTin · 25/07/2018 21:16

Jael?

MariaMadita · 26/07/2018 07:53

Yes, @FintyTin, Yael/Jael :))!!

This ancient hero
the Deborah song is one of the oldest poems in the old testament.

brought years of peace to a people
40 years of peace for Israel

using simple tools
a hammer and a tent-pin (and a carpet in the prose account).

violence
Spiky stick through the temples= violence

The worthy hero's
she's one of the nine heroes / worthies by Hans Burgkmair.

name is connected to one of the first of usually 5 kingdoms

One of the first: biological classifications, animalia and plantae were the first two. And Yael means mountain goat.

Of usually five: some American textbooks apparently use 6. (Thanks, WikipediaWink)

FintyTin · 28/07/2018 22:15

Great clues! I thought Jael at first from the simple tools, but was listing Monera/Prokaryotes as first among the kingdoms (that’s how I learnt it), so missed that one for a while.
Apologies for being slow to follow up - my phone gave up on me! Hope this one was worth waiting for (although I doubt it Grin).

This regal young lady can be found with an avian companion in tow. She may be an authority figure, too; but you might find her funny.

LadyGAgain · 29/07/2018 23:46

Tiana?

LadyGAgain · 30/07/2018 00:08

Or Moana? (~the chicken is proper funny~)

FintyTin · 30/07/2018 12:38

Not Tiana or Moana, sorry.

LadyGAgain · 31/07/2018 22:51

Another clue?

FintyTin · 01/08/2018 21:38

Sorry to keep you waiting.

This is a regal but common name. A slender Elizabeth sang about her.

diddl · 01/08/2018 22:07

Sarah?

LadyGAgain · 01/08/2018 23:09

Róisín or Rosalie

MariaMadita · 01/08/2018 23:15

Anne?
