1356 Amiens Defeats Flanders Godfrey Harcourt Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years War, specifically the Battle of Bruselles or the Battle of the Moors, which took place on August 26, 1356, in Flanders. The scene captures Sir Godfrey of Harcourt, a prominent English knight, leading his troops in defeating the men of Amiens. The battle was a significant victory for the English forces, who were attempting to reclaim Flanders from the French. The Hundred Years War, which spanned from 1337 to 1453, was a series of conflicts between England and France over succession to the French throne. The war took its name from the length of time it lasted, making it one of the longest continuous conflicts in European history. The battle of Bruselles was a crucial engagement in the early stages of the war, and Sir Godfrey's victory helped to establish English control in Flanders. The print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back to the medieval era. We can see Sir Godfrey, clad in armor, leading the charge against the men of Amiens, who are shown in disarray and retreat. The print also depicts the use of longbows and other medieval weaponry, providing a glimpse into the tactics and technology of the time. The Battle of Bruselles was a turning point in the Hundred Years War, and Sir Godfrey's victory was a testament to the determination and bravery of the English forces. This print is a valuable historical record of this important moment in European history and serves as a reminder of the complex political and military dynamics that shaped the Middle Ages.
