Anastasia Szabo

History

Who am I? HL Anastasia Szabo, the day she stepped up to be Principality Exchequer HL Anastasia Szabo - Quartered Azure and Or, two foxes combatant proper (under review) HL Anastasia Szabo, during her time as HL Giacinta Francesca Maria Cocchetti Greetings unto you, good gentle. My name is Anastasia Szabo. I currently hail from the Shire of Hartwood (formerly from the Shire of Ramsgaard), in the Principality of Tir, in the glorious Kingdom of An Tir, and have been involved in the game since A.S. XXV (1992). My Story Born in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in 968 AD, Anastasia lánya Gábornak grew up learning to sew, cook and embroider in her father's home. She was married at an early age to a wealthy landowner and friend of her father's, Istvan Szabo. This marriage did not last long and soon she was a widow with lands to call her own, making her independently wealthy. Gabor petitioned the Hungarian court to have Anastasia recognized as "Uraladalom" (Lord) as his only living heir. This was granted and Anastasia now uses this new title. Anastasia (Zia) is currently under the protection of a Berber trader called His Lordship Mahir el Zayd (aka HL Duncan Darroch), who assists her with the running of her estate. She is known for her love of her hounds, embroidery, sewing and hosting lavish parties and events for both the shire in which she lives and the travelers who visit on festival days.
