Escape of Queen Margaret - A Glimpse into Medieval Resilience
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Escape of Queen Margaret" offers a vivid portrayal of the tumultuous events that unfolded during the War of the Roses. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this engraving captures a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases Queen Margaret (1430-1482), consort to King Henry VI of England, as she flees from the First Battle of St Albans on May 22nd, 1455. Her husband's defeat and capture have left her with no choice but to escape alongside her young son, Edward, Prince of Wales. Intriguingly, this artwork not only highlights the chaos and violence associated with medieval warfare but also emphasizes resilience and determination. The viewer is drawn into a scene where Queen Margaret fearlessly runs across a battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers and billowing smoke. Her expression reveals both desperation and unwavering resolve as she navigates through treacherous terrain to secure her family's safety. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of the strength exhibited by individuals caught in times of turmoil. It serves as a testament to human spirit amidst adversity—a reminder that even when faced with overwhelming odds, one can find courage within themselves to forge ahead. This remarkable engraving invites us to reflect on our own capacity for resilience while immersing ourselves in an era defined by political strife and personal sacrifice. Through
