EDITORS COMMENTS
Ultragotha, the Queen Consort of Childebert I, King of the Franks, is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard from the collection "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." Dated back to 1834, this exquisite artwork showcases Ultragotha's regal attire and the grandeur of the Merovingian court. Ultragotha, also known as Fredegund or Fredegonde, was the daughter of Chilperic I, King of Soissons, and Audovera, the sister of Childebert I. She became the queen consort of Childebert I after the death of his first wife, Clotilde, in 545 AD. The image captures Ultragotha wearing a magnificent crown adorned with precious stones and pearls, a long veil covering her hair, and a voluminous gown with intricate patterns and elegant sleeves. The queen's attire reflects the opulence and sophistication of the Merovingian court during the late 6th century. The intricate details in the artwork, such as the delicate embroidery on the queen's gown and the intricate design of her crown, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The use of handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a captivating representation of the Merovingian era. This artwork is a valuable historical record of the fashion and culture of the Frankish kingdom during the early Middle Ages. It also provides a glimpse into the lives of the powerful women who shaped the history of the Frankish dynasty, such as Ultragotha, the queen consort of Childebert I.
