EDITORS COMMENTS
Ermengarde, Princess Plantagenet (1082-1147): A Vision of Devotion and Nobility This image portrays Ermengarde, the esteemed Princess of the Plantagenet lineage, born to Fulk IV, le Rechin, Count of Anjou, and Hildegarde of Beaugency, a renowned witch countess. The portrait, created as a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Edward Hargrave for The Ladys Magazine and Museum of the Belles Lettres in 1836, showcases Ermengarde's regal beauty and deep spiritual connection. Ermengarde is depicted wearing a Syrian cap with a veil, a fashionable choice for noblewomen of the time. Her crimson velvet robe, bordered with sable, exudes opulence and sophistication. The princess accessorizes her attire with a necklace and belt made of bezants, adding to her grandeur. In her hands, she holds a book of devotion, symbolizing her piety and dedication to her faith. Ermengarde's lineage is marked by intrigue and power. Her father, Fulk IV, was known as le Rechin (the boar) due to his strength and courage. Her mother, Hildegarde, was a powerful and influential countess, rumored to possess witch-like abilities. Despite this, Ermengarde chose a life of devotion and, according to some accounts, eventually became a nun in the Redon Abbey in Normandy. This enchanting portrait captures the essence of Ermengarde's complex identity – a princess of noble birth, a woman of deep faith, and a symbol of the intrigue and power of the Plantagenet dynasty.
