Introduction

I hail from the province of Valencia, Spain in the mid-16th century. I have become deeply involved in the study of fencing in the East Kingdom. My other interests include equestrian games, archery, and embroidery. I strive to constantly improve my fencing ability, but also to get more involved in the equestrian community.
