 +
 +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.
