Abstract
Las figuras de Brunegilda y Fredegunda han estado unidas por un mito latente, disuadido por parte de la historiografía contemporánea. La historia de dos reinas cautivadas por la idea del poder, arrolladas por la codicia o el deseo y abocadas a un castigo cruel; una leyenda que sirve como premonición ante las expectativas de las mujeres y la complacencia de los hombres. A partir del concepto de la retórica visual propuesto por la Weibermacht (el Poder de las mujeres), el siguiente estudio se centra en el análisis de ambas figuras durante el período de la Edad Moderna, representadas mayormente a través de los grabados con un claro propósito moral o emblemático dirigido a encaminar la conducta de hombres y mujeres mediante los valores cristianos y su visión del género, ayudando a moldear, específicamente, el carácter regio.
The figures of Brunhild and Fredegund have been linked by a latent myth, disregarded by part of contemporary historiography. The story of two queens captivated by the idea of power, overwhelmed by greed or desire, and destined for a bloody punishment; a legend that serves as a warning against the expectations imposed on women and the complacency of men. Drawing on the concept of visual rhetoric proposed by the Weibermacht (Power of Women), the following study focuses on the analysis of both figures during the Early Modern period, predominantly represented through engravings with a clear moral or emblematic purpose aimed at guiding the behavior of men and women, influenced by Christian values and their gender perspective, helping to shape, specifically, the character of royalty.
