Windsor Castle: A Tale of History and the Unusual Encounter Between Herne the Hunter and Henry VIII This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the rich history of Windsor Castle, as Herne the Hunter, a legendary figure of English folklore, is said to have appeared to King Henry VIII during a tempestuous storm in 1509. The photograph, published in 1842 by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to a time when the supernatural was a part of everyday life, and the line between reality and myth was blurred. The terrace of Windsor Castle, bathed in the ethereal glow of lightning, sets the stage for this spooky encounter. Henry VIII, clad in his regal attire, stands transfixed as Herne, the wild huntsman, emerges from the swirling mists, his antlers adorned with the skulls of his prey. The king's expression is a mixture of awe and fear, as he gazes upon the otherworldly figure. The photograph, taken in 1842, is a testament to the enduring power of folklore and the human imagination. It is said that the image was inspired by the works of the Victorian novelist, R.M. Ballantyne, who wrote extensively about Herne the Hunter in his popular book, "The Hunter's Lodge," published in 1855. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of Windsor Castle, which has been the residence of English monarchs for over 900 years. The castle, which is still in use today, has played host to countless historical events, from royal weddings to state visits, and continues to be a symbol of the enduring power and tradition of the British monarchy. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are transported back in time, to an era when the supernatural was a part of everyday life, and the line between reality and myth was blurred. The image is a reminder of the power of folklore, the enduring allure of the past, and the rich history of Windsor Castle.
