EDITORS COMMENTS
Alix of Thouars, Duchess of Brittany (1203-1221): A Medieval Portrait of Power and Elegance This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard, drawn from the seminal work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a captivating glimpse into the life of Alix of Thouars, Duchess of Brittany (1203-1221). Born into the noble House of Thouars, Alix ascended to the ducal throne of Brittany following the death of her husband, Peter Mauclerc, in 1213. In this evocative image, Alix is depicted wearing a sumptuous ensemble befitting her noble status. She dons a high-crowned hat adorned with delicate veiling and a flowing cape, both of which are richly embroidered with intricate patterns. Beneath her cape, Alix wears a tunic and coat of arms, the pierred de Dreux, which symbolizes her lineage and connection to the French royal family. The Duchess's coat of arms, displayed prominently on her chest, serves as a powerful reminder of her familial ties and political alliances. Alix's regal bearing and imposing presence are further accentuated by the ornate details of her attire, which reflect the opulence and sophistication of the medieval court. As a powerful and influential figure in medieval Europe, Alix of Thouars played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. Her image, captured in this stunning handcolored copperplate engraving, serves as a testament to her status, power, and the enduring allure of medieval fashion.
