The Kriegsfahne, or "war banner," of Queen Gerberga is a fascinating material remnant of tenth-century political culture. However, the male figure at the center of the banner-"Ragenardus comes"-has been consistently misidentified as Count Reginar III of Hainaut, a Lotharingian political rival of the queen. It is instead more likely that this figure is Count Ragenold of Roucy, Gerberga's son-in-law. As such, this article reinterprets the banner as portraying not a defeated and dejected enemy but a victorious ally and relative. At the time the textile was woven, the East Frankish royal family was increasingly important both politically and ideologically to the West Frankish kings Louis IV and Lothar. Consequently, I argue that the Kriegsfahne provides an important insight into how the changing political context of the tenth century affected comital authority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
