Information About

Empress Of Blandings




The Empress is an enormous Berkshire pig owned by doddering but harmless Lord Emsworth , the wealthy, upper-class owner of Blandings Castle who is obsessed with keeping her weight up. Her role in stories is usually limited to eating large amounts of food or on occasion being kidnapped by a rival pig-owner, but she serves as the foil for the central Lord Emsworth joke that trivial matters (such as winning prizes at the local fair) are vitally important whereas important matters (such as the feelings of family members) are irrelevant.
