Retour à soi (Back to yourself)
This image is part of my photographic series "Almodis, Countess of Montferrand", which I invite you to discover in the list of my albums.
By consulting the photos in chronological order, and paying attention to their titles, you can follow the story of Almodis's life as Countess of Montferrand - according to the freedom of my novelistic interpretation, the first known chatelaine of the fortress so named.
In 1085, Count Pierre de Melgueil paid homage to the Pope and began the bipolarisation of the county of Substantion, which became the county of Melgueil and Montferrand. Construction of the castle of Montferrand began at the same time. The Count did not survive the completion of the project, and probably died as early as 1086. His widow, Almodis, inherited the castle and administered the county for the rest of her life.
Many thanks to Ana Lys for the double session (and the two walks...), which were necessary to obtain the different 'phases' of the narrative. Thanks also to Suzanne for the loan of the '1085' dress.
