EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Chilperic I, King of Neustria or Soissons (c.539-584): A Regal Figure in Medieval Fashion" This handcolored copperplate print depicts Chilperic I, a significant figure in the early medieval history of Europe, particularly in the region of Neustria or Soissons, which is now part of northern France. Born around 539, Chilperic reigned from approximately 561 until his death in 584. He is known for his role in the Merovingian Dynasty, a period marked by political instability and cultural development. The image of Chilperic I, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," showcases the king in a regal and stately manner. He is depicted wearing a crown, symbolizing his royal status, and a hooded cape, known as a bardocucullus, which was a common garment during the Merovingian era. This cape was designed to protect the wearer from the elements and offered a degree of anonymity, making it an essential part of the medieval wardrobe for both the nobility and the clergy. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant handcoloring, bring the historical figure to life, allowing us to appreciate the fashion and style of the time. Chilperic I's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of the early medieval period, providing a glimpse into the past and offering valuable insights into the clothing and accessories worn by the ruling elite during this fascinating era. The meticulous work of Leopold Massard, as displayed in this print, not only captures the essence of Chilperic I but also serves as a testament to the artistic skill and historical knowledge of the time. This image is an essential resource for anyone interested in medieval history, costume, and fashion, offering a unique and captivating perspective on the past.
