EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years War between England and France, specifically the siege of Calais in 1347. The scene shows King Edward III of England (1312-1377) receiving a delegation of six burghers from Calais, led by Eustache de Saint-Pierre, who offer themselves as hostages to prevent the destruction of their city. The king, shown in regal attire and seated on a throne, listens intently to their pleas, while his wife, Queen Philippa of Hainault (1293-1369), stands behind him, interceding on their behalf. The siege of Calais marked a turning point in the conflict, as it was the first major victory for the English in France. The city had been under English control since the end of the previous war in 1305 but was retaken by the French in 1346. Edward III laid siege to the city in the autumn of 1346, and after a prolonged and brutal siege, the defenders were forced to surrender in August 1347. The burghers of Calais, aware of the impending doom, sent a delegation to Edward III to negotiate for their lives and the sparing of their city. Eustache de Saint-Pierre, a prominent citizen, led the group and was successful in securing a deal that spared the lives of the burghers and allowed them to leave the city with their possessions. This act of mercy demonstrated Edward III's strategic acumen and his ability to show clemency even in the midst of war. This print captures the drama and tension of the moment, with the king and queen shown in contemplative poses, the burghers looking anxious and pleading, and the queen's intervention adding an element of humanity to the scene. The historical significance of this event is underscored by the detailed depiction of the characters and their surroundings, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints.
