Master Brian’s crafty wee spoon and case is entered under two categories: “With scarfs, and fans, and double change of bravery, With amber bracelets, beads, and all this knavery” as well as “‘Fore God, you have here a goodly dwelling and a rich”.

My persona’s parents were Genoese traders. Once we left the siege of Caffa in 1345, we traded around western Europe. Accommodation varied a lot and it was handy to have my own cutlery.
