1. Title: "Jacques de Bourbon, Comte de La Marche and Connetable de France (1319-1361)" 2. Description: This evocative image captures the noble and resolute visage of Jacques de Bourbon, Comte de La Marche and Connetable de France, during the tumultuous 14th century. Born in 1319, Jacques was a key figure in the French political landscape, serving as the Grand Master of the Artillery of France and later becoming the Constable of France in 1356. 3. Historical Context: Jacques de Bourbon's life intersected with some of the most significant events of the Hundred Years War between England and France. He played a crucial role in the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, where the French army, including Jacques, was defeated by the English forces led by Edward, the Black Prince. King John II of France was captured during this battle, and Jacques took on the role of regent until the king's release in 1360. 4. Appearance: In this print, Jacques de Bourbon is depicted wearing a richly decorated surcoat, signifying his high rank and wealth. His armor, adorned with intricate designs and heraldic symbols, reflects the military prowess and strategic acumen that made him a formidable figure on the battlefield. His expression is serious and determined, suggesting a man deeply committed to his duty and the welfare of his kingdom. 5. Legacy: Jacques de Bourbon's legacy extends beyond his military accomplishments. He was a patron of the arts and a supporter of the Franciscan Order. His patronage helped to promote the development of the arts in France during a time of political turmoil and conflict. Today, this historical print serves as a powerful reminder of Jacques de Bourbon's significant contributions to French history and the enduring legacy of the Bourbon dynasty.
