Master Richard and Mistress Jane, cooks for The Marcher Stuarts. 

 

Wherever the Marcher Stuarts venture, they are always assured of fine victuals. The first tent to be set up after a long days march is the Sutlers tent where Master Richard ensures a good fire so that Mistress Jane can begin to prepare the food.  

 

Master Richard is another "old" soldier from a farming background. He hedges his bets by fighting for money rather than for a specific cause. He can turn his hand to bow or musket when time allows, after the Mistress is sure that he's completed his kitchen duties.

 

Mistress Jane is of fine family stock. However, love does not distinguish fine from lowly and she finds herself with Master Richard. During many a skirmish she is to be found with musket in hand or attending to the cannon. It has been known for the cannon to try to outsmart her, but she's learnt her lesson and now treats it with respect.................. to deadly effect.    

 

Jane is a Practice Nurse. Richard, real name Howell is a Carpenter/Joiner.
