The Battle of Fromigny, 14 April 1450 - A Glimpse into the Decisive Moment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - The Battle of Fromigny. Taken from an illuminated manuscript called Chronique de Charles VII by Jean Chartier, this image transports us back to the year 1450 during the infamous Hundred Years War between France and England. The scene depicts knights, infantrymen, and cavalry engaged in fierce combat near Bayeux in Normandy. Led by Arthur III de Bretagne, the French army emerges victorious against their English counterparts under Sir Thomas Kyriell's command. This triumph marked a turning point as it led to the conquest of Normandy and England's subsequent loss of most French possessions. Intriguingly detailed with intricate armor and weaponry, this miniature offers a glimpse into medieval warfare tactics such as long bows used by archers on both sides. The presence of horses adds an element of grandeur to the chaos unfolding on the battlefield. As we observe this historical clash between nations, we witness not only a confrontation but also witness weak leadership on Henry VI's part leading to his ultimate defeat. The fleur-de-lys emblem prominently displayed symbolizes French victory while reminding us of Charles VII's reign as King of France during this period. Through this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one crucial battle that shaped European history forever.
