This drawing is an addition to the Italian chapter in the medieval HWS series, representing mainly Tucany region to complement the expanded drawing list. The portrayal itself is pretty straightforward, Baroness Giraldona here is depicted in the box shaped Kasten-Brust armor with a rather large plate skirt, possibly intended for use in foot combat (more likely, during tournament). It is based on The depiction in the painting of "Altar of Saint Leonard churge in Basele by Conrad Witz,1435".

The name Republicca Tuscia is a corruption and deviation of the historical medieval Florentine Republic (Repubblica Florentina) centered in Florence (Firenze) which ruled the Tuscan region. This is so as to avoid any missunderstanding between the HWS series and actual medieval history.
