Brief Description of Lecture: Countess Ermengarde of Brittany led a fascinating life, which was well documented by her contemporaries. Yet she has been all but forgotten in modern narratives about the Middle Ages. This lecture will bring to life this influential medieval woman and explore why her voice had been lost to history – until now.
