Persona
Edyth Miller is an English-born townswoman living in Bruges, Flanders in the early 15th century. Her husband works within Flanders' thriving cloth industry as a supplier, which has offered them comfort as free citizens. Edyth is a Master tailor, but also enjoys the life and responsibilities of a housewife and mother in her urban home. In her many years living under French rule, her Anglo-Saxon roots have almost completely faded, and she admits to a preference for Franco-French culture, fashions and food.
