Members

There are four members of Hous Amberherthe;

Meistern Christian Baier
Baron Sir Tycho Julso
Master Sir Vitale Guistiniani
Senora Isabel Maria del Aguila

 

Associates (squires, apprentices etc), friends and retainers are attached to the household.


Meisterin Christian Baier
Christian is German lady who ran away from civilised society for a life of spectacular clothes, drinking and dancing with a rather successful Gentleman of War.

 

Baron Sir Tycho Julso
Tycho is from Denmark, a cold and dark land to the north. They eat rotten fish and drink fermented honey (or is it the other way around?). His hobbies are fighting and making armour and weapons.

 

Master Sir Vitale Guistiniani
Vitale is an Venetian man who has a weak grasp on geography and the calendar, always maintaining its 1427, Tuesday, and he’s fighting Milan. It’s best to humour him. Between campaigns his favourite pastimes seem to be fighting, singing and drinking (typical soldier).

 

Senora Isabel Maria del Aguila
Until recently Isabel was French, but, well, turns out the Spanish have better clothes. Somewhat more inconvenient, but better.

Helois is apprenticed to Meisterin Christian.


Associates of the Household

The Honourable Lady Theresa d'Arezzo
Theresa is an Italian lady who is something of a social butterfly with an obsession for shiny accessories, and suitable clothes with which to wear them. 

Theresa is also apprenticed to Meisterin Christian

 

Lord Angus DeSommerville
Angus DeSommerville is one of those crazy, hairy fellas from the northern part of them Isles off the coast of Calais.

Angus is one of Vitale's Men at Arms

 

Lady Elizabetta Foscari
Elizabetta is an Italian woman who is clearly very shy, but appears to have picked up a fancy for fine clothes.

 

Friends of the Household

Lady Arabella Grishild the Grey
Lord Geoffrey's mail order bride from the Kingdom of Atlantia.  Her passion is singing, but she is showing signs of developing a passion for fine clothing as well.

 

Lord Geoffrey fitz William
A norman clerk stolen by pirates who then joined Eric the Awful's band of rampaging vikings for their drunked kegger through Monglia, where he fell off the wagon.  The local mongolians revered him as an image of the living god which made it difficult for him to escape because he had to steal many ponies to pack out his Gher and many other possessions gifted to him in tribute.  He signed on to a caravan on the silk road (with fake credentials) as chief eunuch.  Eventually making the Holy Lands, he had to make a rapid escape by sea after accidentally killing Kings Mistress' humping leopard as a result of a bizarre drunken wager.  Making port in Venice, he spied and later purchased (by letter) his bride, a professional singer (the scandal).  His reputation has not recovered.  Returning home overland, he discovered the French were a truly despicable people and vowed to only dress in the garments of his subjects.

Today he lives on a small estate in Normandy, where the local children are terrified of the "crazy cat man" and dare each other to steal his apples.  Rumour has it he is actually the illegitimate daughter of King Richard.
