Persona
Kateryn Styllyngflete is an Englishwoman living in 15th century (about 1440s to 1480s) York during the Civil Wars (known now as the Wars of the Roses.) While she tends to lean slightly more Yorkist than Lancastrian (as many of her fellow Northerners do,) what she really wants is an end to all the fighting. If King Harry and Queen Margaret or King Edward and Queen Elizabeth can achieve that, so much the better.
Name Pronunciation
CAT-er-in STILL-ing-fleet. Pronouncing the "Kateryn" as the modern "Katherine" also works for me.
Offices & Positions
- 4/21/2024 - present: Ayreton Social Media Officer
Interests and SCA-related hobbies
Garb/Sewing, Embroidery, Scribal, Beginner armored fighting, Beginner archery, Research/History - especially the Wars of the Roses period in England, around the 1440s to the 1480s. Other historical interests include (so far) the Mercian Supremacy/Kingdom of Mercia in general, and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, especially the pre-Christian Grand Duchy.
I love to help researchers - if you don't know where to start with research, I'm happy to help! (Seriously. I am a library assistant in my mundane job, I will be overjoyed to help you.)
I also hope to get into tablet weaving, weaving in general, spinning, knitting, and bobbin lace-making for fiber arts, as well as jewelry making, bardic, and dance.
I speak French and have basic Irish and very basic Lithuanian, so let me know if you need help with any of those! I'm happy to help.

In Case of Scroll/Court
She prefers scrolls to be in English, either modern or Middle. No faux/"hack" hands please! She's a big fan of books of hours, so that could potentially work for inspiration! She also begins each blog post with a manuscript image, so that could potentially be helpful. If your scroll suits her persona, lovely! If not, she'll be happy to receive your lovely handiwork nonetheless!
