EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the powerful and tragic figure of Brunehaut (Brunhilde), Queen of Austrasia. As the wife to King Sigebert and regent for her son, Childebert II, she wielded immense influence in Frankish society during the 6th century. However, her reign was marred by political intrigue and betrayal. In a cruel twist of fate, Brunehaut met a gruesome end in her 80s - tied to a wild horse and left to die. This brutal act serves as a stark reminder of the ruthless nature of power struggles in medieval Europe. Despite her formidable reputation as a strong-willed ruler, this image also hints at the underlying sense of melancholy that plagued Brunehaut throughout her life. Her expression seems haunted by the weight of responsibility and loss that defined her reign. Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the tumultuous events that shaped one of history's most enigmatic queens. The intricate details captured in this print offer a glimpse into the complex world of Frankish royalty, where loyalty could be fleeting and alliances were constantly shifting. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly preserved this piece of historical artwork for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon.
