Abstract:		 Gundrada, the wife referred to in the title, is one of those historical characters, whose death conferred on them an importance they did not have in life. Romanticism turned her into a princess who set out with her husband across the snowy Alps towards the shrine of the Apostle Peter in Rome. She was certainly no royal figure and probably no pilgrim either. Her real identity and its significance are discussed in this paper. But it was her untimely death, burial and re-burial that set in train a series of remarkable events that gave her a place of permanent importance in the art of medieval Europe. These events are unravelled and analysed. The story is brought up to date, but 1992 is not the end of the journey, merely a resting-place on the way. References will be made throughout to details that will be found in the Appendix. These include the Warenne tombslab and inscription , plus the Gundrada tombslab, its inscription and decoration; the latter is assisted by a scale diagram. Figs 4 to 12 must be studied in relation to this diagram.
