EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the daring escape of Empress Matilda from Oxford, where she had been besieged by King Stephen. In the dead of winter, with snow and ice covering the ground, Empress Matilda is seen fleeing in her white clothing, symbolizing her purity and determination to break free from captivity.
The events depicted in this image took place in December 1142, during a tumultuous period known as The Anarchy. As one of the few female rulers of medieval Europe, Empress Matilda faced immense challenges and obstacles in her quest for power. Despite being outnumbered and outmaneuvered by King Stephen's forces, she managed to outwit her captors and make a dramatic escape under the cover of night.
The stark contrast between the cold winter landscape and Empress Matilda's determined expression highlights the intensity of this historical moment. Her escape not only solidified her reputation as a formidable leader but also paved the way for future generations of women to assert their rightful place on the throne.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library serves as a powerful reminder of Empress Matilda's resilience and bravery in the face of adversity. It is a testament to her unwavering spirit and unwavering commitment to reclaiming what was rightfully hers.
