Previously apprenticed to:
Meisterin Adelheid Leinwater I was born in Nürnberg, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire in the Germanic lands, on December 21, 1500. My father was a linen weaver and my mother a devoted wife of good Catholic faith. My mother instilled in me the duties of a good daughter and future wife from birth. I learned how to manage a household from tending our garden, cooking, cleaning and basic domestic arts. I am good with a needle although embroidery is not my favorite. She also taught me how to behave in public among any class. I learned my place, as an upper class merchant’s daughter, however she taught me the ways of the Imperial Court. With the Blasphemous reformation, I was sent to a convent in Tuscany to broaden my education. While in Tuscany, I studied music and learned to enamel glass. There I was introduced to my now husband. I am married to an officer of the Italian militia in service to Charles V. We have been graced with a beautiful son. We currently reside in the Barony of Darkwater where I assist in their Excellencies court with the children. |
