EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the moment that ignited the beginning of the 100 Years War between England and France in 1337. King Edward III of England, depicted in regal attire and holding a scepter, is seen sending a challenge to King Philip VI of Valois, France, symbolized by the white and gold scroll in the foreground. The serious expression on Edward's face contrasts with the determined gaze of his advisors, including the Bishop of Lincoln, who wears an eyepatch as a sign of his vow to perform a gallant deed before removing it. The 100 Years War, which lasted from 1337 to 1453, was a series of conflicts between the two European powers over the French territories in England's domain. The war marked a significant turning point in European history, as it saw the rise of the English monarchy as a major European power and the decline of the French monarchy's influence. The tradition of the Bishop of Lincoln and other English nobles wearing an eyepatch as a symbol of their commitment to perform a gallant deed during the war is an intriguing historical detail. The exact origin of this custom is unclear, but it may have been inspired by the legend of the Bishop of Durham, who was said to have worn an eyepatch as a reminder of a vow he made to God before leading his troops into battle. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and military events of the Middle Ages and the complex web of alliances and conflicts that shaped European history for centuries to come.
