EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite parchment, dating back to the fifteenth century, showcases the genealogy of Wilfred I the Hairy (840-897), a pivotal figure in the history of Aragon and Catalonia during the High Middle Ages. Wilfred I was a Count of significant territories including Urgell, Cerdanya, Barcelona, Girona, Besalu, and Ausona. The circular design of the parchment, with its circumferential border, is a common feature of medieval genealogical records. At the center, Wilfred I is depicted in profile, his long beard and high-crowned helmet distinguishing him as a powerful ruler of the time. He is shown holding a sword in his right hand, symbolizing his military prowess and authority. The green background adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the portrait. This precious document, now housed in the Archive of the Abbey of Poblet in Spain, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages and the lineage of one of its most influential counts.
