Persona:
- Jehanne is from the town of Bruges in the duchy of Burgundy and works in the [Bening]'s workshop, the father of Simon Bening. In 1486 my employer was known to have joined the Bruges [of St. Luke]. This workshop produced many things for the [of Burgundy]. Sadly he died in 1519.
This was a decadent era, with most worldly supplies passing through or near Bruges. The clothing was opulent, but not so fitted I can't sew it myself.
My motto is "Gloria in Facto", the justice is in the doing. The thing I like doing most is creating scrolls for Calontir's Monarchs to present to their populace.
I was honored to be welcomed into the Order of the Laurel September 10, 2010, by TRM Oswald Konrad von Riesetoten and Kaye of Gordon.
