1356 Bordeaux Pikes Poitiers Received Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the moment of triumph and grandeur as the Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), is received in the city of Bordeaux following his decisive victory in the Battle of Poitiers on September 19, 1356. The Black Prince, the eldest son of King Edward III of England, led an English army against the French forces under the command of King John II. The battle took place during the Hundred Years War, a long-standing conflict between England and France for the throne of France. The print depicts the Black Prince on horseback, dressed in full armor and wearing a white surcoat emblazoned with the red cross of St. George. He raises his right hand in a gesture of acknowledgement to the cheering crowd, while his troops, some bearing pikes, line the streets of Bordeaux in a show of loyalty and support. The city's fortified walls and towers can be seen in the background, symbolizing the security and stability brought by the English victory. The Battle of Poitiers is considered a turning point in the Hundred Years War, as it marked the end of French dominance in the region and led to the capture of the French king, John II. The Black Prince's victory cemented his reputation as a skilled military leader and earned him the title of 'Prince of Aquitaine'. The print serves as a testament to the rich history and grandeur of medieval warfare and the political intrigue of the time.
