EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 12th-century print depicts a pivotal moment in the Battle of the Standard, also known as the Battle of Northallerton, which took place on August 22, 1138. The English forces, led by the Earl of Aumale, William of Aumale, successfully repelled a Scottish army under King David I of Scotland. In this image, Walter Espec, a prominent English knight, is seen shaking hands with the Earl of Aumale while both are on horseback. Their helmets and armor are prominently displayed, emphasizing the militaristic nature of the encounter. The Battle of the Standard marked a significant victory for the English, strengthening their control over the northern borders and solidifying the power of the Earl of Aumale. This historical print transports us back to the 1130s, offering a glimpse into the medieval world of knights, horses, and the clash of armies.
