Catherine is a tavern wench. Her father is dead, and she works to help her mother care for her five younger siblings, only one of which is old enough to work. Catherine works in Le Poulet Gauche, a tavern in Calais, France, in 1599.
Le Poulet Gauche is an extraordinary effort to bring to life a real tavern of the period. The food is made with period ingredients. The service is done the same. The entertainment is the same. Monsieur Jehan du Lac, the proprietor, even has the events of the time happening. For example, the Spanish occupied Calais in 1599, so we have quite a number of Spanish men wandering about the premises.
I have a list of her entire family and more of her background, but I can't remember it, or where I put it...not very useful, no?
