Introduction
I joined the Society in 2000, while living in Ann Arbor Michigan. When we moved to Pennsylvania I became more involved and found that illumination[1] was especially a favorite of mine for which I was awarded the Order of the Maunche.
I enjoyed sculpting and working on small edible subtleties. When I moved to Connecticut I purchased a ceramic kiln longing to get back to that art which I enjoyed in my early years in college. I work primarily in luxury ceramic pieces of the 16th century, although my persona is earlier(1400s). My other interests include medieval gardening and persona development.
Persona
Ysabella was born 21 November, 1375. St. Saveur le Viscomte, Normandy, France born to Nicolas de Villarquemada (d 1380) and Bernice de Clarens (d 1386). Siblings include Iago (older brother, (d 1380), Esther (older sister), Adhemar de Villarquemada (older brother), Jean-Claude (older brother), Guillaime (older brother (d 1401)). She is married to Gerard des Aigues-Mortes.
She was educated at Rouen in upper Normandy until she was sixteen. Her elder brother, Jean-Claude, arranged a marriage to Baron Gerard D’Aigues-Mortes in 1396 when she was then twenty, which united the largest southern and northern salt-making families and created a regional monopoly on salt. They have two children; Lillian and Michel. Ysabella was granted the title of Baronne de Draguignan by the King in 1403.
Persona development is a very important part of my involvement with the SCA. I offer articles in persona, and enjoy helping others flesh out their persona privately by email.
