Agnes of Poitou (around 1027-1077) - "A wedding with obstacles"

Shoved to the German throne by her ambitious mother, Agnes von Poitou experienced at the side of Henry III. the height of the Salic dynasty.

The early death of the emperor suddenly made Agnes regent for her still underage son Heinrich IV. Not all were of the planned marriage of Heinrich III. excited with Agnes von Poitou in Ingelheim. After all, she came from Burgundy, which was very fashion-conscious at the time, where unmarried women wore their long hair open and showed the first signs of a cleavage - which for some was a safe ticket to hell. But that wasn't the only obstacle.

Please pay attention to weatherproof clothing and practical shoes!
