EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fifteenth-century print depicts Ramon Berenguer IV (1113-1162), Count of Barcelona and Prince of Aragon, and his wife Petronilla (1136-1173), Queen of Aragon. The image showcases the powerful couple in regal attire, with Ramon holding a scepter and orb, symbolizing his royal authority, while Petronilla is crowned and holds a crucifix, signifying her piety and devotion. Ramon Berenguer IV was a significant figure in the history of Catalonia and Aragon during the Middle Ages. He played a crucial role in expanding the territories of the Crown of Aragon and strengthening its political and economic power. Petronilla, on the other hand, was the daughter of King Alfonso VII of León and Castile and brought a valuable political alliance to the House of Barcelona through her marriage to Ramon. The couple's marriage in 1151 marked a significant moment in the history of the region. Their union helped to solidify the relationship between Aragon and Catalonia and laid the foundation for a strong and prosperous principality. The image of Ramon and Petronilla, with their intertwined hands, symbolizes their unity and partnership. This print, preserved in the Archive of the Abbey of Poblet in Catalonia, Spain, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the medieval rulers who shaped the course of history in Aragon and Catalonia, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of their reign.
