Ysabel Hudon

Persona

Ysabel Hudon (also known as Yael bat Shiloh v'Mayan) is a Jewish woman living the in the mid-15th century. Ysabel's family is from Northern France, but fled to Provence during her childhood due to expulsions of the Jews in various areas.

Ysabel is an active candle-maker, knitter, and sewer, depending on rules set by the monarchy at the time. Ysabel likes to join in occasional singing, and watching others dance.

Like most Jews of the time, she is literate, and is good with numbers.

Whereabouts

Within the SCA, Ysabel resides in the Canton of Caldrithig, in the Barony of Skraeling Althing, in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

SCA History

Ysabel joined the SCA in the Fall of 2023, attending her first feast in November: the Feast of the Hare. She participated in a largesse tournament held at this event, and was surprised to win third place.

In 2024, she's attended:

• Feast of Lombardy in January (working the gate), received her Bunny Tail
• the SCADEIB Collegium 2024 in January
• Practicum 2024: Back to Basics in February (hosting an A&S Display)

She's often been found at fencing practice, and has even attended dancing practice!

Interests

Ysabel's interests focus mainly on fibre arts, and she's busily working her way through several new crafts. She's done several types of weaving, some costumes, and is learning to knit. She would love to learn to weave or knit tapestries, but is deciding on medium.

She likes to learn about others' A&S skills, and can often be found sitting next to people with an unfamiliar fibre art form, working on her own historical knitting research, or planning something A&S related.

Other Activities

Ysabel has been lately experimenting with chandlery. She makes candles from beeswax exclusively: dipped, rolled, and poured.
