EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 10th century image, Queen Eadgifu of Kent, also known as Edgiva, is depicted in regal splendor. Daughter of Earl Godwin of Wessex, she was the third wife of King Edward the Elder, who ruled England from 899 to 924. The tender yet resolute expression on her face conveys the strength and grace of a queen who played a significant role in the political landscape of her time. Edgiva's beauty and intelligence were renowned, making her an ideal match for King Edward. Their union was an important one, as it helped to secure alliances and strengthen the power of the English monarchy. The intricate patterned veil that covers her head and the richly embroidered garments she wears are symbols of her high status and wealth. The image of Queen Eadgifu serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating world of medieval England. It invites us to imagine the intrigues and triumphs of the royal court, as well as the daily life of the people who lived in this era. The delicate details of the artwork, from the intricate patterns on her veil to the delicate folds of her clothing, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the rich history of the English monarchy. Despite the passage of centuries, the image of Queen Eadgifu continues to captivate and inspire.
