Baroness Rebecca Mary Robynson, lady wife to Baron Sir Philip Williams of Aston, is known for her painted silk flags. She has published her research and taught workshops, as noted below.
Persona
Rebecca Mary Robynson hails from a wealthy family in 14th Century London where she learned the mysteries of painting and staining from her father, a member of the painter's guild and master painter for the Royal household. She married a charming, penniless nobleman from York where she now resides as Baroness of Aston Hall. When not accompanying her knight husband on the tournament circuit or running their Baronial household, she continues to practice her craft, dabbling also in textile (spinning, dyeing, knitting) and culinary pursuits.
