Margarete was born in 1967 and is a trained linguist for Slavic and Romance languages. She has been writing poetry and stories since her childhood and started to research HEMA in the process of fulfilling her childhood dream to write and publish an ample fantasy novel. While narrating the first fencing scenes, she realized very soon, that historical sword fencing is not actually what you see in movies. The next step was to read some books about fencing to learn about the techniques, but in order to be able to describe the feelings and sensations of her characters, she needed to feel herself what they experienced. So she joined her local HEMA club, where she has been a student since 2017.
