Dotting the history of Catalonia are individuals who have left an indisputable mark on the culture, thanks to their uncommon rebellious spirit. One such historical figure was Ermesinde of Carcassonne, a regent who ruled in Catalonia during the last quarter of the 10th century. Life’s circumstances brought her to the height of power, where she played a role that was by no means easy for a woman of her time. All the same, her intelligence, guile and wit enabled her to operate perfectly.
