About Alyshia

My name is Alyshia Lozano. Mundanely, I live in central North Carolina in the Kingdom of Atlantia. My husband and I have been playing in the SCA since 2022. My areas of interest range from culinary, medicinal, and material culture. Most of my work has related to 16th century Mexico, but my overall focus is the Iberian empires from the time of Isabella and Ferdinand through Philip II.
