Ermessenda, was a woman who governed for 60 years, in the 11th century, at a time when the Catalan nation was being forged in fire and blood. She reigned in a world of men and did so without hiding in the shadows of her descendants. She even fought against them in order to keep her share of power. Her son never forgave her not letting him reign on his own, and her grandson forced her to renounce her title of countess.
