Persona History:

(1470s Sicily, Venice and Constantinople)

Lady of the city of Palermo and Remini. Widow of Luciano Malatesta, who was lost at sea (which is not as expensive to arrange as one would expect). I assist with my family's agricultural concerns on the continent, and play music for noble courts. To that end split my time between Venice, Constantinople and Ansteorra.

Motto

"Non essiri duci sinno tu mancianu, non essiri amaru sinno ti futanu"
Sicilian. Translation: Be not sweet lest you be eaten, be not bitter lest you be cast aside.

Interests:

Music, Mediterranean Culture, Poetry, Olives, medieval machines, bureaucracy, and Spinning.

Timeline of Activity:

Started in the SCA in 1990 at the College of Twr Gath (First event: Stargate Yule, December 1990), lived several years in Bjornsborg, and Stargate. I currently live in the Barony of Loch Sollier.

Populace Provided Information:

Her Royal Majesty, Margaret ny Connor

09/09/2019: Biatrichi, I just wanted to thank you for playing in the background during Our court at Bryn Gwlad. It's very soothing, and you've mastered the art of when to let the music be heard versus when to let it fade out perfectly!

Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:

  • Titled Bard of Loch Sollier
  • Primary organizer/instigator of the Ansteorra Middle Eastern Culture Symposium
  • Lady In Waiting to the most unruly baronesses in Ansteorra, and the majestic lady of the Isle of Lyoness.
  • Member of the Order of the Laurel and perpetual officer.
  • Co-Autocrat of the Coronation of Rowan Beatrice von Kampfer and Hector Philip Martel
  • Autocrat of nearly a dozen events, including a couple of Stargate Yules, an Academy of the Rapier for Bjornsborg, and a King's College.

Trivia

  • Magnifica Biatrichi is armed with a lovely little blade named Plectrum, for fending off those who might request she play "Freebird" during court....
