Mahault of Swynford
Persona
Freihern Mahault of Swynford is an English gentlewoman living in England in 1540. She is married to a Dutch wool merchant, Berend van der Eych, and very much enjoys the fruits of his labours.

Activities
Mahault is the Head Fewterer of The Honourable Guild of Fewterers, Veneurs and Mewskeepers of Ealdormere. She has two greyhounds, Ozzie and Boaz, who have inspired her to spend a lot of time researching medieval hunting, resulting in a feast in the 14th Century style, based on the parts of the hunt. Apparently, it was yummy. She also loves to try pretty much anything and will happily join whichever experiment is ongoing, especially if it involves fire and gin. She is currently the Mistress of the Wardrobe for the Baroness of Septentria, Mahhild. Her Excellency requires that Mahault remind everyone that her name does indeed have a second 'H'. It is, of course, invisible.
