EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of English history, Prince Henry Beauclerc (1068-1135), later known as King Henry I, boldly seizes the Royal Treasury at Winchester Castle. The year is 1100, and the occasion is momentous: Henry, following the unexpected and tragic death of his elder brother, King William II (William Rufus, or "William the Red"), has seized the opportunity to assert his claim to the throne while Duke Robert of Normandy, William's older brother and the rightful heir, is away on the First Crusade. The scene unfolds in the hallowed halls of Winchester Castle, a Norman edifice that had served as a royal residence and administrative center since the time of William the Conqueror. Surrounded by his loyal supporters, Henry confidently seizes the keys to the Royal Treasury, symbolically securing his hold on the English crown. The treasury, a repository of the kingdom's wealth and power, would provide the resources necessary to consolidate Henry's rule and quell any potential opposition. The image captures the decisive moment in which Henry Beauclerc, a man of cunning and ambition, seizes the throne for himself. This bold action would mark the beginning of his reign, which would last for over 30 years and see the consolidation of the English monarchy under the Angevin (Angevin is an alternative name for the Anjou dynasty, to which the Normans belonged) rule. The image serves as a testament to the tumultuous political landscape of medieval England and the indomitable spirit of its rulers.
