1312 1377 Coronation Froissart I Ii Westminster
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the momentous occasion of King Edward III's coronation in Westminster Abbey at the tender age of fifteen, in the year 1377. Edward, dressed in regal attire and wearing the imperial crown, sits confidently on his throne, surrounded by the grandeur of the Abbey and the solemnity of the historical event. The young monarch's expression exudes a sense of determination and maturity, belied by his youthful age. The coronation of Edward III was a significant moment in English history, marking the beginning of a long and influential reign. Edward was the son of Edward II and Isabella of France, and came to the throne following the deposition of his father. His reign was marked by military successes against Scotland and France, as well as political instability and conflict with the barons. The image is believed to have been inspired by the contemporary accounts of the coronation by the renowned chronicler Jean Froissart. Froissart, who was present at the coronation, wrote extensively about the event and the court of Edward III. His detailed descriptions provide valuable insights into the ceremonial proceedings and the political climate of the time. The intricate details of the image, from the ornate decorations of the Abbey to the richly dressed attendees, offer a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of medieval royalty. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the coronation of Edward III and the important role that Westminster Abbey has played in the history of the English monarchy.
