I love them both so much.

1. Regelinda - c. 989 - 21 March aft. 1014 - a member of the Polish Piast dynasty, was Margravine of Meissen from 1009 until her death by her marriage with Margrave Herman I.

She was the daughter of the Polish King Bolesław the Brave from his third marriage with Emnilda, daughter of Dobromir, a Slavic prince (according to some modern historians in Lusatia).

2. Uta von Ballenstedt c. 1000 — 23 October pre-1046 - a member of the House of Ascania, was Margravine of Meissen from 1038 until 1046, the wife of Margrave Eckard II.

Both of sculptures are in Naumburg Cathedral.

Naumburg Cathedral (The Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul)

Located in the eastern part of the Thuringian Basin, the Cathedral of Naumburg, whose construction began in 1028, is an outstanding testimony to medieval art and architecture. Its Romanesque structure, flanked by two Gothic choirs, demonstrates the stylistic transition from late Romanesque to early Gothic. The west choir, dating to the first half of the 13th century, reflects changes in religious practice and the appearance of science and nature in the figurative arts. The choir and life-size sculptures of the founders of the Cathedral are masterpieces of the workshop known as the ‘Naumburg Master’.
