Helen Pevensie was the wife of Mr. Pevensie, and the mother of the four Pevensie children. She lived in London.
Biography
Helen Pevensie may have been the sister of one of the elder Scrubbs, though it is unknown which one, or even if she was, as the relationship between her family and the Scrubbs has never been clarified. There's an equal chance her husband may have been a sibling of Alberta Scrubb. Helen was also the aunt of Eustace Clarence Scrubb.
Sometime before 1927 EY, when she was at least of age, she gave birth to Peter Pevensie , who was followed by three siblings; Susan in 1928, Edmund in 1930, and Lucy in 1932.
In 1940, she sent her children away to the country (to Professor Kirke's House) during the air raids of World War II.
In 1942, she accompanied her husband (now a professor) and daughter Susan on a trip to America.
In 1949, she was killed in a railway accident while on her way to visit family. After her death, she entered Aslan's Country, and met her children there as well.
Trivia
- Helen Pevensie is mentioned, but never seen in the books. In the Disney/Walden movies, her first name is "Helen". It took a while to decide on this name: she was also called Violet and Miriam (and possibly others) during earlier filming, but the name "Helen" was finally decided upon for the film. Helen is also the real-life name of the mother of Georgie Henley (the actress who plays Lucy Pevensie), and the name of the First Queen of Narnia.
- In the Disney/Walden film, she is portrayed by British actress Judy Mcintosh.
- In a brief original draft of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Mrs. Pevensie is stated to be doing 'some kind of war work' in London during the Blitz. This was quite common in those days, as many women often had to do war work, since all the men were away fighting the war.
- It is also mentioned, in the old draft, that she maybe a relative of Professor Kirke.
