1439 Catherine Comte Rides Charlois

EDITORS COMMENTS
Catherine Goes to Wed: A Regal Procession through Medieval Paris (1439) This evocative image captures the moment when Catherine of Valois, the daughter of King Charles VII of France, sets off from Paris to marry Charles, Comte de Charlois. The year was 1439, and the royal procession was a grand spectacle that reflected the opulence and power of the French monarchy. Catherine, resplendent in her richly embroidered gown and crowned with a diadem, sits confidently on her horse, her expression serene and regal. Her attendants, also dressed in fine robes, follow behind, some on horseback and others on foot. The streets of Paris are lined with onlookers, who have gathered to catch a glimpse of the future queen as she makes her way to her new home. The scene is filled with intricate details that transport us back to the Middle Ages. The banners and pennants fluttering in the wind bear the coats of arms of the Valois and Charlois families, while the horses are adorned with ornate trappings. The architecture of the buildings in the background, with their pointed arches and flying buttresses, adds to the sense of history and grandeur. The marriage of Catherine and Charles was a significant event in French history. It marked the end of the Hundred Years' War between France and England and paved the way for a period of peace and stability. The union also strengthened the ties between the French and Burgundian courts, which would have far-reaching consequences for European politics. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment in the history of France and Europe. The image is a testament to the power and splendor of the medieval court and the enduring allure of the past.
