| Sumario: | This work analyzes the figure of Adelaide in the works "Vita Mathildis" of Donizo and "Gesta Ottonis imperatoris" of Hrotsvitha, in particular, the scene where she escapes of Berengar, that had imprisioned her after the death of her husband Lotar.

From another side, Hrotsvitha makes Adelaide the real protagonist of her story, able to survive and win thanks to the divine miracle. |
