You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((refimprove|date=December 2009))

[[Image:Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres - Roger Delivering Angelica.jpg|thumb|''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.<ref>((cite web|title=Angelica|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Angelica-fictional-character|website=britannica.com|access-date=1 March 2017))</ref> The [[narratives]] are part of the [[Matter of France]], a cycle of [[legendary history]] stories based on the adventures of [[Charlemagne]] and his [[paladin]]s.

==''Orlando Innamorato''==
In ''Orlando Innamorato'', Angelica is introduced as the daughter of Galafrone, the king of "Cathay" or "India". [[Cathay]] commonly refers to China, not India, but this seeming inconsistency can be resolved:
Boiardo considered Cathay to be a city, and "Cathay was a city in India inferior or [[Serica]]" according to the [[Mappamondo Borgiano]].<ref>((harvnb|Ross|2004|pp=603–4)) (notes on "Cathay")</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://beyondthirtynine.com/a-chinese-beauty-in-a-renaissance-poem-at-the-time-of-leonardo-da-vinci/|title=A Chinese Beauty in a Renaissance Poem at the time of Leonardo Da Vinci|author=Paratico, Angelo|date=29 October 2016|publisher=Gingko|quote=citing Ponte, Givovanni|access-date=10 July 2018|archive-date=10 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180710194836/https://beyondthirtynine.com/a-chinese-beauty-in-a-renaissance-poem-at-the-time-of-leonardo-da-vinci/|url-status=dead))</ref><ref name="Ponte1972">((cite book|last=Ponte|first=Giovanni|title=La personalità e l'opera del Boiardo|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TZUWAAAAMAAJ|year=1972|publisher=Tilgher-Genova))</ref>((Refn|group="lower-alpha"|Galafrone's realm is vast, with Cathay as its capital city. Albraca a fortress, a day's journey west.<ref>((harvnb|Cavallo|2013)), p. 47, p. 49 and notes 15, 16 (on p. 283).</ref>)) She comes to Charlemagne's court with her brother Argalia (who assumes the identity of a knight named Uberto dal Leòne).<ref>((harvnb|Ross|2004)) (tr.), ''Orlando in Love'', I.i. and p. 671. note to I.i.25.</ref> All the knights are smitten with her, especially the cousins [[Orlando (character)|Orlando]] ([[Roland]]) and [[Renaud de Montauban|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.

==''Orlando Furioso''==
[[File:Orlando Furioso 20.jpg|thumb|Illustration of [[Ruggiero (character)|Ruggiero]] rescuing Angelica for ''Orlando Furioso'' by [[Gustave Doré]], 19th century]]

Boiardo left his epic unfinished, but the action was taken up in ''Orlando furioso''. Angelica is continually sought throughout the world by Orlando, Rinaldo, and the best knights from various countries. She eventually finds herself naked and chained to a rock in the sea, offered as a sacrifice to a [[sea monster]] called the orc (a situation identical to the perils of [[Andromeda (mythology)|Andromeda]]). She is rescued by the [[Africa]]n knight [[Ruggiero (character)|Ruggiero]], who gives her a ring of invisibility. Later, pursued by the lovelorn Orlando, she uses the ring and vanishes. She ultimately falls in love with an ordinary North African soldier named Medoro, who she nurses back to health, and returns with him to Cathay.  Orlando goes mad when he learns of their marriage from a shepherd and his wife.  He requires the aid of his cousin [[Astolpho]] to recover his senses.  Cured entirely of his love, Orlando stops his search for Angelica, and she no longer appears in the poem.
