Introduction
Ysabel has been active in the Barony of Carolingia since December 2012. She is presently Captain of the Waytes of Carolingia, the instrumental ensemble of the Carolingian Guild of Musicians and Jongleurs.
Ysabel plays lutes, Renaissance guitar, recorders, and period (natural) trumpet. She pursues recreational research on early instruments, music, dance, embroidery, and other sundry topics, as documented on her Wordpress site. She also enjoys dancing, sewing, cooking, and learning about all the fascinating things other people have done and studied.
Persona
Ysabel da Costa was born at the turn of the 16th century to a Portuguese Converso family of traders and merchants. After marrying in her late teens, she left Portugal to flee the pressures of the Inquisition. Like her famous counterpart Donna Gracia Mendes, Ysabel has sojourned in many cities: Bayonne, Ferrara, and most recently Istanbul. Her husband David is frequently absent on long sea voyages and is seldom seen with Ysabel at events. They have an unmarried daughter, Rebecca.
Lilavati Datta is a 16th century Hindu woman of the merchant caste living in the Hooghly district of Bengal. She was given in marriage as a second wife to a Portuguese trader called David; they have one grown son, named Ramesh. Since her husband rarely visits, and Lila has no mother-in-law living with her, she enjoys considerable autonomy as the mistress of her household.
