EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases a remarkable medieval masterpiece, Ms 6712 (A. 6.89) fol. 141r Richard I miniature from Flores Historiarum. Created by the talented Matthew Paris between 1250-52, this exquisite vellum artwork transports us back to the reign of King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart. In this intricately detailed portrait, we witness the momentous coronation ceremony of Richard I, who ruled England and held titles such as Duke of Normandy and Count of Aquitaine. The regal figure is depicted seated on an ornate gothic throne, adorned with a majestic crown and holding a sceptre symbolizing his authority. Surrounded by clerics in ecclesiastical attire, we can sense the solemnity of the occasion as one bishop anoints him with holy oil—a sacred act that signifies divine approval for his rule. This portrayal not only captures Richard's royal status but also highlights his crusader background; he led a significant crusade in 1190 during his eventful reign. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make this manuscript truly awe-inspiring. Preserved at Chethams Library in Manchester, UK, it serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from centuries past, we are reminded of Richard I's enduring legacy as a courageous king whose lionhearted spirit left an indelible mark on medieval history.
