EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Simon de Montfort, a prominent figure from the medieval era. The hand-coloured engraving, published in 1780 by Pierre Duflos, offers a glimpse into the life and appearance of this historical icon. Simon de Montfort was born around 1165 and lived until 1218. He hailed from an aristocratic lineage, with his father also named Simon de Montfort serving as Earl of Leicester. Known for his military prowess and leadership skills, Simon IV de Montfort fought in various significant campaigns such as the Fourth Crusade (1202-04) and led a crusade against the Albingenses or Cathari (1909-18). It was during the siege of Toulouse that he tragically lost his life. In this portrait-like depiction, we see Simon de Montfort portrayed in full armor with an air of authority befitting his noble status. His beard adds to his distinguished appearance while his cloak drapes elegantly over him. This image captures not only his physical attributes but also hints at the societal role he played as part of the French aristocracy. The fine details captured through engraving bring to life this influential figure who participated in holy wars and fought against heretical movements like Catharism. Preserved within private collections today, this print serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance alike.
