EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Bishop of Laon swearing allegiance to Charles, Duke of Lorraine" during the 10th century. The image, taken from the Harmsworth History of the World, Volume 5, transports us back to medieval France. In this solemn scene, we see a group of distinguished individuals gathered around a grand table in a lavish banqueting hall. The room exudes an air of opulence with its ornate furniture and regal decor. The bishop stands tall at the head of the table, his presence commanding respect and authority. As he raises his hand to take an oath of loyalty and fealty, Charles, Duke of Lorraine sits beside him with an expression that reflects both power and humility. This act symbolizes their unbreakable bond as religious leader and noble ruler.
