EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the intense moment when Bertrand de Gourdon, also known as Pierre Basile, John Sabroz, and Dudo, is brought before King Richard I in AD 1199 to receive his punishment for shooting him with an arrow. The tension in the air is palpable as Bertrand stands before the wounded monarch, who would later succumb to his injuries. Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart or Coeur de Lion, was a formidable ruler of England during the 12th century. His reputation as a brave and fierce warrior precedes him, making this confrontation with his assailant all the more dramatic. The details in this print from Cassell's History of England published around 1901 are striking - from the wounded limb of Richard to the weapon that caused it. The expressions on both men's faces tell a story of betrayal and consequences that reverberate through history. As we gaze upon this historical scene frozen in time by artist Ken Welsh, we are reminded of the fragility of power and how even kings can fall victim to treachery. Bertrand's fate hangs in balance as he awaits his punishment for daring to harm one so mighty as Richard I.
