Ermengarde of Tours

[3] Lothair and Ermengarde had: The contemporary poet Sedulius Scottus wrote "Men despise the zither's harmonious music whenever they hear your angelic and golden voice...

Your face shines like ivory and blushes like a rose, and excels the beauty of Venus and the nymphs.

A dazzling crown of golden hair adorns you, and splendid topaz, as a glittering diadem...

Your milk-white neck glistens with beauty, shining with the lustre of lilies or ivory.

Your soft white hands dispense myriad gifts, whence they sow on earth to reap in heaven.
