EDITORS COMMENTS
Alphonse de Poitiers, Count of Poitiers and Toulouse (1220-1270), was a prominent French nobleman and soldier of the 13th century. Born as the fifth son of King Louis VIII of France and Blanche of Castile, Alphonse was raised in the shadow of his older brothers, who went on to become kings of France and Navarre. However, Alphonse proved himself to be a capable and accomplished leader in his own right. This striking image of Alphonse de Poitiers, likely created during his lifetime, shows him in the regal attire of a nobleman, wearing a long tunic, a mantle draped over his shoulders, and a crown on his head. His expression is serious and resolute, reflecting the gravity of his responsibilities as a count and a military commander. Alphonse's military career began in earnest in 1242, when he led a crusading army to the Holy Land. He later played a key role in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in southern France, where he was appointed as the commander-in-chief by his brother, King Louis IX. Alphonse's military prowess and strategic acumen helped to bring the crusade to a successful conclusion, and he was rewarded with the title of Count of Toulouse in 1229. Despite his military successes, Alphonse faced numerous challenges throughout his life. He was involved in several power struggles with his brothers and other noble families, and he also had to contend with the political and religious complexities of the medieval world. Nevertheless, Alphonse remained a dedicated and effective leader, and he left a lasting legacy as one of the most important figures in the history of the French monarchy. This evocative portrait of Alphonse de Poitiers offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure from medieval Europe. With his serious expression and regal bearing, Alphonse seems to embody the strength and determination that were essential qualities for any nobleman or soldier of the time.
