Lady Marian

Severity and mistery! 🌺

“I am strength!”

Lady Marian or Marion, heroine of the Robin Hood literary saga and her companion, beautiful and loyal, for her courage and independence is celebrated as one of the first strong female characters in English literature.

Over time Marion survives many readings, from the shepherdess and identification of the Madonna or of the Magdalene, at the Marian feasts of May, as a licentious pastime, as a noblewoman of aristocratic origins … in short, all the nuances of a … WOMAN!

The legend:

In the different variations of the legend, from ballads to tales, Robin Hood lives in Sherwood Forest, is the leader of a gang that steals the rich to donate to the poor harassed by King John’s taxes, ascended to the throne of England awaiting the death of King Richard the Lionheart at the Crusades.  It is not known for sure if a bandit named Robin Hood existed, several studies believe that it is the sentimental and romantic result of the merger of three rebel characters back then, the fact is that he was a character who gave voice to the intolerance of the subjects of the time, so much so as to forbid the theatrical performances that fomented new revolts.

In reality we know that the merit of a firm wrist would never have been recognized … awaiting the return of King Richard the Lionheart … it was by the hand of a SHE WOLF … in reality, Richard the Lionheart’s mother saved his neck and throne … Eleonora Of Aquitaine. Vitrizia reads this as a credible story for medieval values, hiding behind Lady Marian, symbol of the entirety of both positive and negative female aspects, Eleonora D’Aquisgrana who was defined as unscrupulous because she was guilty of having lived in the time of the silence of women. .. This is another story that you can also read here. And so Marian is presented as a noble maiden of great beauty, who disguises herself as a farmer to reunite with her beloved in the depths of the forest … to her, her values ​​and perhaps to the figure that lies behind her legend …

Vitrizia dedicates the HOOD to her! To find the true ancestor of the hood we must go back to the Middle Ages when the hood, a sort of cloak with a hood on the back, was worn by men and women.  We also find it in fairy tales with Little Red Riding Hood, always tied to the cloak. The hood is always tied to a fabric shoulder piece.

We have untied it and interpreted it in wool yarn, precious, soft and versatile, easy to carry with you, always refined, magnetic and charismatic.
