EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment of intense disagreement between Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and King Henry III in 1257. The image, taken around 1880, depicts the clash between these two influential figures during the medieval period. Simon de Montfort was not only an English statesman but also a skilled soldier who played a significant role in challenging the arbitrary rule of King Henry III. Dissatisfied with the king's autocratic reign, De Montfort joined forces with other English barons to voice their grievances against him. In this wood engraving, we see De Montfort engaged in a heated argument with Henry III. Both men stand tall and resolute, each holding their respective weapons - symbolizing power and authority. Their swords are at their sides as they confront one another over matters that have divided them. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the dramatic atmosphere surrounding this historical event. It transports us back to the thirteenth century when aristocracy held immense influence over society. This image serves as a reminder of how disagreements can shape history and challenge established systems of governance. It showcases the determination and courage displayed by individuals like Simon de Montfort who dared to question those in positions of power for the greater good of their people
