EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment of F. 288r Ferdinand of Portugal, the Count of Flanders, being taken as a prisoner to Paris after the Battle of Bouvines on 27th July 1214. The image is extracted from the Grandes Chroniques de France, a medieval manuscript dating back to 1375-79. In this remarkable scene captured by an anonymous French artist from the 14th century, we witness Ferdinand riding his horse while surrounded by soldiers who have successfully captured him. The illumination and intricate details in this illuminated manuscript bring life to this pivotal event in history. Ferdinand's capture was part of a larger conflict known as the war between King John Lackland of England and Emperor Otto IV against Philip II of France. As commander of both Hainault and Flanders knights, Ferdinand played a significant role in these battles. The photograph not only captures Ferdinand's capture but also provides insight into medieval warfare tactics with soldiers on horseback surrounding their captive. It serves as a reminder that even powerful figures like Ferdinand were subject to imprisonment during times of political turmoil. Displayed at Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in European history. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the artistry and storytelling capabilities found within ancient manuscripts like Grandes Chroniques de France.
