Biography
Boson's wife
In 876 , she married, Duke Boson V of Provence - with Ermengarde, a branch of the Carolingians was founded in the Bosonides - and gave him two daughters and a son, Louis , future emperor of the West .
In May 878 , Pope John VIII, threatened by the Saracens and Italian nobles, took refuge in Arles with her and her husband, Duke Boson.
After the coup d'état of Boson in October 879 , she participated in the defense of Provence against the attempts of the Carolingian kings to reconquer . At the end of 880 , she successfully defended the city of Vienne , in the Rhône valley , capital of the kingdom of Burgondia that her husband Boson had tried to restore, and besieged by the troops of the alliance of the Carolingian kings Charles III the Fat , Louis III of France and Carloman II of France .
In August 881 , during the second siege of Vienna , the troops of Charles III the Fat , newly elected West Germanic Emperor , succeeded in taking the city which was pillaged and burned down. Richard the Justice , brother of Boson, then takes under his protection his sister-in-law and his niece and takes them to Autun , while her husband Boson takes refuge in Provence.
