I am married to a non-history loving husband. I have two dogs, two cats, and a fish. When not dressing myself in Italian Renn, I'm making clothes for dolls and doing other mundane crafts. Lord Charles and Lady Echo also can be found at this address, though they do not do internet related things.

A late fifteenth century Florentine merchants wife.

Born in the fall of 1465, I come from a family of good means. My father did well in his merchanting of spices and the occasional exotic foodstuff. In 1480 I became wed to an older merchant of my fathers aquantance. I do not get the best in Florence when it comes to fashion or gems, but he does well by me. As a merchants daughter I was taught to read and write, and to keep books (both the ones the taxman saw and fathers private ledgers). My father provided me with a generous dowery that included money, cloth (silk and linen), and from my mother I recieved a lovely set of pearls. As the oldest daughter it was my due, and I think my sisters jealous. My husband enjoys retellings of old stories, and secured for me a copy of the Decameron to read to him when the nights are long. He grows older each day, soon I think I shall control his household.
