Baron Alejandro Mateo Ramirez     Baron Alejandro likes lo-fat oatmeal raisin cookies. Or without raisins, even.
Lord Charles Fleming  

Argent, a lion rampant sable and on a chief vert three Latin crosses argent

Miror Otium Negotium Multum
Requirere

Lord Charles Fleming is a Flemish ally of the English who joined King Edward's army after the battle of Sluis. Even as a hardened veteran, he was shocked to see peasants with longbows slaughtering high-born French knights at Crecy. It just wasn't right, and no good will come of it.

Thirty years ago in far Ansteorra, rumor has it that Charles Fleming used different aliases. Some say he wore satin and lace with a curly wig, and others say he dressed as a Persian Mongol who wore mostly sesame oil. His good wife isn't telling.

Master Corwyn Sinister   Argent, a raven rising wings elevated and addorsed sable, on a chief vert three annulets argent  
Lady Eleanora de Montgomerie   or, a chevron cotised sable, three foxes proper  

Maestra Francesca la Curiosa

Curiosa, aren't ya? Azure, two piles and a pile inverted Or each charged with a crescent azure Maestra Francesca loves making bobbin lace, talking about it, teaching it and one day she may even wear some of it. She loves most things involving fiber, once it's spun, so if there's a String Thing (knitting, netting, sprang, naal binding, inkle weaving, all but woven in the forms of lace covered by Arachne's Web, etc.) you're interested in learning, ask. She may be able to help or point you in the right direction to learn about it. Currently she is Guild Mistress for Atlantia's Arachne's Web, the lace guild, and hosts a String Thing gathering at her home the fourth Sunday afternoon of most months.
Lady Helwynn Ivelchild    Vert, a sheep passant argent maintaining with its forehoof a drop spindle Or, threaded argent, and a chief embattled Or Lady Helwynn Ivelchild has found much more time to run the Baronial "cooking" guild ever since the regrettable and untimely deaths of the previous guildmaster and her sixth, seventh and eighth husbands. She enjoys long walks in her herb garden and can often be found tending to her eggplants, tomatoes, and other similar plants.
Lord Galeran Chanterel
Galeran smiles on an Autumn day
per pale argent and azure; three fleur de lys and a dance counterchanged Preferring minstrelsy to the medicine his father sent him to Paris to study, Galeran Chanterel has sung and danced in Aethelmearc, the Middle, the East, Atlantia and Northshield ever since dropping out of school. He has particular fondness for the dances of Italy and his native Burgundy, but is well versed in all forms expected of a proper gentleman. Galeran is also an accomplished recorder player and harper and has played recently with Master Robyyan's consort "The Baron's Noyse" in the Middle Kingdom.
Lady Letia Thistelthueyt   per chevron throughout purpure and argent; two etoiles argent and a dragonfly vert Between sneaking out to learn swords with her older brother, spending hours climbing up the tree that over looked the neighbor's paint studio, hiding in the corners of the pub that the bards frequented, and inviting herself to every dance that she could sneak into, her parents never knew where to look for Letia. This was how she liked it, better then cleaning... blah. Somehow, she still manages to live this way, much to her parents' dismay. Perhaps someday she will grow out of it... but we doubt it!
Lady Rhieinwylydd verch Einion Llanaelhaearn
Rhieinwylydd is entertained at Pennsic

 argent, a pale endrosed sable charged with a lion's face argent; overall in chief three lozenges counterchanged

Aut Age Aut Tace

Rhieinwylydd was born on the northwest coast of what is now Wales in the year 966. She has been active in the SCA for over ten years; her interests include (but are by no means limited to) needlework, cooking, heraldry and music.
Lord Piero Volpe    Argent, a fess checky azure and argent overall a fox sejant contourny proper Lord Piero, having made his fortune trading spices, medicines and poppies from Cathay, now serves as the local moneylender and extends the helpful protection of his household guards to the many local merchants with whom he has "business arrangements." Lord Piero wishes to note that he was as shocked and dismayed as any to find the body of Omar, a noted purveyor of medicines and elixirs from Arabia, floating by the docks last week. Rumors of weekly bacchanialian dinners at Piero's piazza are greatly exaggerated.
Lady Philippa Tillinghast  Pippa statant gardant Argent, a pale bretessed gules between a cat rampant to sinister azure and a cat rampant vert Lady Phillipa, or "Madame Pippa" as we call her affectionately, is among the most upstanding members of our community. Aside from her position as head of the canton's town council, she runs an orphanage and halfway house for disadvantaged boys and young men. After rescuing them from a harsh life on the streets she trains and raises these fine boys in all manner of gentlemanly arts and pursuits, including athleticism, viticulture and massage therapy, then helps them sell their services to the many fine and noble ladies of our barony. Recent rumors of her
frenzied bidding on muscular, loincloth-clad lads at a barbarian slave auction are nothing but vicious slander and will not be tolerated further.
Lady Trephina la Broderesse   Argent, on a bend sinister between six fishes haurient embowed to sinister purpure, a needle threaded argent  
Maitresse Ysolt la Bretonne   Argent, a mouse statant sable between three ermine spots gules  
Lady Rosanella Vespucci Rose smiles in welcome   Lady Rosanella Vespucci is the daughter of an Italian merchant, born in Venice in 1487. She has traveled extensively with her father on his many excursions to obtain exotic and interesting wares. Rose greatly enjoyed growing up in Venice and it was there that she grew to love music (particularly singing), embroidery, and art. She has the red hair beloved of Renaissance artists and is of the family of Simonetta Vespucci, model for Botticelli's "Birth of Venus." During her travels, she met and married a Scotsman named Daryll mac Donnchaidh, a great and noble warrior who was tragically killed on September 9, 1513 while fighting for King James IV on a hill of northern England near the Scottish border. The English defeated the Scots and mac Donnchaidh's King was killed by his side. In the two years prior to her husband's death, Lady Vespucci gave birth to two sons- Seamus mac Donnchaidh and Aonghus mac Donnchaidh. Although the boys returned with their mother to be raised in Venice among the enlightened and learned of the Renaissance, they did not lose the fierce blood of their father. Both men have grown into warriors in their own right and are in training in the Kingdom of Atlantia where they now live with their mother. The family broke their sea voyage in the Stronghold of Raven's Cove where they resided for a short while. During that time, Lady Vespucci, called Rose by the members of her Canton, became interested in Heraldry and became the group Herald. With a desire to learn more about this great Kingdom of Atlantia, Rose moved her family to the wonderful Canton of Buckston-on-Eno where Rose was recently appointed Chatelaine for the group. She adores greeting newcomers and sharing with them all she can about the Dream that is Fair Atlantia.
