1356 Defeating Poitiers Waits Years


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of tense anticipation following the historic Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), emerges as the victor against the French king, John II, in one of the most significant engagements of the Hundred Years War. The defeat marked a turning point in the conflict, weakening French control over territories in Aquitaine and paving the way for English dominance in the region. Edward, the eldest son of King Edward III, is depicted in regal attire, seated at a grand table, as the vanquished French monarch, John II, approaches. The scene is set in September of 1356, in the aftermath of the battle, which took place near the town of Poitiers in southwestern France. The Black Prince's military prowess and strategic brilliance were on full display during this pivotal battle. With a smaller but well-disciplined army, he managed to outmaneuver the larger French forces, leading to a decisive English victory. The image of Edward waiting for the French king at the table symbolizes the power shift that occurred during this period, as the English began to assert their dominance over their French counterparts. The Battle of Poitiers is an essential event in the annals of medieval history, marking a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years War. This image offers a captivating glimpse into the political and military landscape of the time, providing a window into the intricacies of medieval power dynamics and the consequences of strategic military victories.
