EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured within this exquisite 12th-century codex is a momentous donation made by Bernat Ato IV and his beloved wife Cecelia, the esteemed viscounts of Beziers. In an act of profound generosity, they bestowed upon their cherished daughter Ermengardis a dowry that would forever shape the course of history. This miniature, found in the Liber Feudorum Maior, transports us back to the year 1110 when this monumental event unfolded. The vibrant colors adorning this print bring to life the grandeur and opulence surrounding this betrothal ceremony. Set against a backdrop of medieval architecture, we witness Gausfred III, future Count of Roussillon, receiving this precious gift with utmost reverence and gratitude. The tower standing tall symbolizes strength and protection as it overlooks the picturesque landscape of Catalonia. This remarkable piece not only offers a glimpse into the intricate customs and traditions prevalent during the Middle Ages but also sheds light on the rich history of Aragon Crown's archive. Its significance extends beyond mere documentation; it serves as a testament to enduring love between families and their unwavering commitment to securing prosperous futures for their children. As we delve into these ancient pages, let us marvel at how such delicate brushstrokes have preserved an indelible bond between generations past. Through Santiago Ortega's skilled handiwork emerges an evocative narrative that transcends time itself.
