Jéhanne de Bretagne

Persona

I am Jéhanne Tremaclou, dite la Bretonne, I was born in 1162, by a day of winter as cold as to frost mead, in a place at the far edge of the knowne world. Under the watchful eyes of the ermine, my mother gave birth in our blessed home, just around the corner the Trehouard road leading to the old motte de Sant-Servan.

You could see the sea and the island fortress of Sant-Maloù from my home, but more importantly, the turbulent little girl that I was often climbed to the roof to see the great island were the dreaded Viking heathen were defeated attacking the ramparts so long ago trying to attack our walled city. Britanny, my home, is the cradle of the greatest mariners this world has seen, proud inheritors of our Celtic roots, never forced to bow down to invaders and always looking for mischief.

My father, cadet of a family of mariners, made his fortune ploughing the seas going from place to place transporting all the sort of goods that need to be exchanged. Sometimes, he asked reverence from the merchants of our enemies, all in the name of our city and with the blessed approval of our Duke of course. A born adventurer, as strong as the oak that form the bordage of our ships he defended our land and during the siege of Rennes in 1156 he distinguished himself and received nobility and land from our Duke Conan IV dit “le Noir” of the house of Penthievre for his reward.

My saintly mother was born Occitan. She came of Lemotges from a family of enamel merchant. She lovingly raised our family through these uncertain times. To me, she is like the lighthouse at the end of the rue de Dinan, strong, tall, and nurturing, showing the way home and as sweet as the honey from the abbey of Sant-Servan.

As for me, I takes care of our holdings at home. By now a Lady dreaming of tall and strong Scots but still a turbulent little girl touched by the korrigans at hearth. I travels the world in search of new knowledge and adventures.
