1346 Battle Field Blessing Crecy Gain Helping I Ii Receives Victory Years


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment in the aftermath of the historic Battle of Crecy in 1346. The Black Prince, Edward, the eldest son of King Edward III of England, stands before his father, receiving a blessing for his role in securing a decisive English victory over the French army. The battle, fought on August 26, 1346, marked a turning point in the Hundred Years War and established England's dominance on the European continent. Edward, the Black Prince, had distinguished himself on the battlefield, leading the English longbowmen and cavalry charges against the French knights. Wearing his distinctive black armor, he emerged as a hero of the battle, earning the nickname 'the Black Prince.' In this moment, however, he is a humble and obedient son, seeking his father's approval and blessing. King Edward III, a seasoned military leader himself, recognizes the significance of his son's achievements and offers his blessing with pride. The battlefield, dotted with the remnants of war, serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities of warfare in the Middle Ages. The father-son duo stands in stark contrast to the chaos and destruction that surrounds them, emphasizing the human connection and emotional bonds that endure even in the midst of war. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the events of the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of the key figures who shaped the course of European history. The Battle of Crecy and the Black Prince's pivotal role in it continue to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts, making this image an essential addition to any study or display of medieval warfare and royal history.
