+===== Beatris Yañes de Gomera, maid in charge of lady's wardrobe =====
-===== Beatris Yañes, lady's wardrobe maidservant =====
 {{wiki:articles:profile-beatris:00-beatris.jpg}}
+She was born in 1282 as the first daughter of soldier Juan de Gomera, who got
+fame and land in reward for bravery at the Battle of Gomera near Osuna.
+Her mother, Maria Ana, was one of maids of Fernando Núñez de Lara's wife,
+and she soon became in charge of her lady's wardrobe.
+When Beatriz was still a child, Maria Ana taught her to tablet weave.
+Beatriz showed great talent for the technique.
+She soon became proficient in the craft to such a high level that her mother
+was not afraid to entrust her with the most expensive materials.
+It was because of this, and because of her mother's connections, that the young
+Beatriz found place among Elvira Fernández's maids.
+Thanks to her hard work and her experience with fabrics, clothing and weaving,
+she eventually worked her way up to become in charge of Elvira's wardrobe.
+She managed her earnings well and started building up her own fortune.
+Like any young girl from a good and wealthy family, she ended up stuck in a marriage.
+Her father arranged for her to marry Pablo Pérez, the eldest son of a rich merchant.
+Their marriage wasn't a smooth one.
+Although Pablo had promised that with such a beautiful woman by his side he would never turn to another, he was still notorious ladies' man.
+Beatriz's younger brother, Juan, took the whole thing personally.
+He had several arguments with Pablo and protested against the wedding.
+After the marriage, father decided to send Juan away to Gomera.
+The marriage indeed wasn't harmonious.
+When doña Elvira married don Rodrigo, Beatriz didn't hesitate to follow her lady to her new home.
+After the death of don Rodrigo, she tried to comfort the lady in her grief and followed her on her pilgrimage to Aachen.
+When Doña Elvira decided to take refuge in the Kingdom of Bohemia, under the protection of her distant cousin Iñigo of the Haro family, Beatriz stood at her side.
