Angelica (character)

Ruggiero Rescuing Angelica by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

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.[1] The narratives are part of the Matter of France, a cycle of legendary history stories based on the adventures of Charlemagne and his paladins. She is mentioned in chapter 6 of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818).
