EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 15th century engraving offers an artists' interpretation of the moment when Charles, Duke of Orleans, was captured during the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The Duke, a prominent French nobleman and the future regent of France, is depicted here under heavy guard as he is escorted towards the Tower of London. The Battle of Agincourt was a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War between England and France. King Henry V of England emerged victorious, leading to the capture of several high-ranking French nobles, including the Duke of Orleans. The defeat was a major blow to the French, and the capture of their noblemen was a strategic victory for the English. The Duke of Orleans is shown here wearing his full regal attire, including a fur-trimmed robe and a crown on his head. He is surrounded by English soldiers, some of whom are holding weapons and others are leading horses. The Tower of London, a symbol of English power and authority, looms in the background. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the aftermath of the Battle of Agincourt and the consequences of the French defeat. It also offers a window into the visual culture of the 15th century, showcasing the artistic techniques and styles of the time. The image is a reminder of the complex political dynamics of the late Middle Ages and the ongoing struggle for power between England and France.
