Carinthia Countess Duchess Margaret Tyrol Ugly Bosoms
EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret of Tyrol, also known as Margaret of Tirolean-Gorizia, was a remarkable woman who ruled as Countess of Tyrol and Duchess of Carinthia during the 14th century. Born in 1318, she was the daughter of Meinhard II, Count of Gorizia-Tyrol, and Elizabeth of Bohemia. Despite the beauty often associated with the aristocracy of the time, Margaret's appearance was far from conventional. Her portrait, captured in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the reality of a powerful medieval woman. With her strong jawline, piercing gaze, and ample bosom, Margaret's image defies the typical idealized depictions of female nobility. Margaret's reign was marked by political astuteness and diplomacy. She navigated complex alliances and conflicts in the Alpine region, securing her territories and expanding her influence. Her marriage to Louis IV, Duke of Inner Austria, further solidified her power base. Despite her formidable political prowess, Margaret was also known for her piety and charitable works. She founded several monasteries and hospitals, and was a patron of the arts. Her legacy endures in the rich cultural heritage of Tyrol and Carinthia, which she ruled with strength and determination. This print, a testament to the complexities of medieval life, invites us to reconsider the traditional narratives of power and beauty in history. Margaret of Tyrol, with her unconventional appearance and indomitable spirit, continues to challenge our assumptions and inspire new perspectives on the past.
