The story of Berta
The legend tells that in 1084 Henry IV of Germany and his wife, Bertha of Savoy, were guests of the
Ladies of Montagnon (the ancient medieval Montegrotto). During this visit a poor spinner,by the name
of Berta presented herself to the Queen,asking for clemency for her imprisoned husband.
As poor as she was beautiful,she offered a skein of her yarn to the Queen. The Queen was so taken by
this girl that she granted freedom to her husband end bestoweb has much land as could be enclosed by
that skein of yarn to the young spinner.
Soon, the word spreed of this gracious gesture, and many others tried to obtain the same favour, but
the Queen replied with the famous saynis "The time of Berta‘s spinning as passed"
