EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary Battle of Thirty, also known as Combat de Trente, which took place in Ploermel, Bretagne, in the year 1350. The event marked a significant moment during the Hundred Years War between England and France. In this hand-to-hand combat engagement, an equal number of thirty Englishmen and thirty Frenchmen faced off against each other, showcasing the bravery and determination of the knights and soldiers involved. The Battle of Thirty was a unique encounter, as it was not part of a larger military campaign but rather a personal challenge between two noblemen. The English knight, Sir Thomas Dagworth, and the French knight, Sir Jean de Dinan, had reportedly made a wager over a dispute. The loser would have to relinquish his lands and titles to the victor. To settle the matter, they agreed to a duel, inviting twenty-nine companions each to join the fight. The print captures the intensity and chaos of the battle, with swords clashing, shields clashing, and the roar of the combatants echoing through the air. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and suspense, as the outcome of the battle could significantly alter the balance of power between England and France. The print also highlights the chivalric code of honor and the knightly tradition of settling disputes through combat. The Battle of Thirty is an intriguing episode in the long and complex history of the Hundred Years War, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when honor, courage, and personal valor were the defining qualities of a knight.
