"Clisson: A Tale of Betrayal, Bravery, and Bloodshed" Step back in time to the late 14th century and witness the dramatic life of Olivier V de Clisson, a renowned French constable and Breton soldier. Known as "the Boucher, " or the Butcher, this fearless warrior left an indelible mark on history. Intriguing illustrations from Gilbert's late 19th-century works transport us to pivotal moments in Clisson's life. One such illustration depicts an attempted murder on Olivier V de Clisson himself. The connetable français narrowly escaped death at the hands of his enemies, showcasing his resilience and determination. Another striking portrait showcases Olivier V adorned in a suit of armor proudly displaying the coat of arms belonging to his esteemed Clisson family. This image captures both his noble lineage and unwavering commitment to defending France. Tragically, our journey takes us to the Château de Josselin where we witness the somber scene of Olivier V's demise in 1407. His untimely death marked not only the end of a remarkable era but also highlighted the dangers faced by those who dared challenge authority. Edmond Mennechet's colorful engraving provides yet another glimpse into Olivier V's character as it portrays him with intensity befitting a legendary French Constable, and is clear that he was not just a man; he was a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield. Beyond portraits and illustrations lie captivating photographs capturing various aspects itself - its majestic château standing tall against time, ancient ruins serving as reminders of past glories, and breathtaking views captured from different angles around town. Helmets, crests, chainmail hoods - these artifacts speak volumes about warfare during this period when honor clashed with treachery on blood-soaked battlefields across Europe. They remind us that behind every great warrior lies a story of sacrifice and unwavering loyalty.
