Angelica (character)
Angelica is a princess in the epic poem ''Orlando innamorato'' by Matteo Maria Boiardo. She reappears in the saga's continuation, ''Orlando furioso'' by Ludovico Ariosto, and in various later works based on the two original ''Orlando'' pieces. The narratives are part of the Matter of France, a cycle of legendary history stories based on the adventures of Charlemagne and his paladins.
==''Orlando Innamorato''==
In ''Orlando Innamorato'', Angelica is introduced as the daughter of the king of Cathay, or India (though Cathay in the medieval mind was more often China). She comes to Charlemagne's court with her brother Argalia. All the knights are smitten with her, especially the cousins Orlando (Roland) and Rinaldo (Renaud), but the protective Argalia will only allow her to marry a man who can best him in a joust. When Argalia eventually falls to the Saracen knight Ferraù, Orlando and Rinaldo threaten to destroy each other over her. As the Saracens lay siege to Duke Naimon's estate, Charlemagne promises Angelica's hand to whichever cousin fights best for him. The battle is lost, however, and the characters go on to further adventure: Rinaldo and Angelica drink from magic fountains twice, each time leaving one madly in love and the other indifferent, while Orlando loses his wits to his passion.
