EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a pivotal moment in history as Queen Fredegond, the powerful and enigmatic figure of the Franks, issues a fateful command. With an air of authority, she stands at the center of her court, surrounded by loyal ladies-in-waiting and attentive courtiers. Her gaze is steely and determined as she gives orders to two men from Terouanne, entrusting them with a grave mission - to assassinate Sigbert, King of Austrasia. Queen Fredegond's story is one marked by ambition and vengeance. Once the mistress and later wife of Chilperic, king of Neustria, she possesses an unwavering determination to secure power for herself and her family. In this portrait-like scene from Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance by Paul Lacroix (1806-84), published in 1847, we witness her cunning nature unfold. The composition exudes tension as the kneeling men receive their murderous instructions from their formidable queen. The weighty responsibility they bear is palpable; their loyalty unquestioned but tempered with trepidation. This image serves as a testament to the complex dynamics that shaped medieval Europe's political landscape - where vendettas were waged behind closed doors and thrones were won or lost through calculated acts such as these. It offers us a glimpse into Queen Fredegond's world - one filled with intrigue, power struggles, and ruthless determination that would leave an indelible mark on history.
