EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of William 1st, also known as William the Conqueror, during the assault and capture of Mantes in July 1087. A renowned figure in history, William was not only the Duke of Normandy but also became King of England from 1066 until his death. The image showcases his bravery and determination as he led his troops through the ruins of the city. Engraved by Victor Adam in the mid-19th century, this artwork is a part of the book "France in the Middle Ages" published by Ardant brothers. The detailed engraving beautifully depicts William's triumph amidst chaos and destruction. However, it is worth noting that this significant victory came at a cost. Following the siege and fire of Mantes, tragedy struck when William fell off his horse while crossing through the ruined city. This unfortunate accident ultimately led to his demise later that year. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both triumph and tragedy intertwined with historical events. It allows us to reflect on William's legacy as an influential ruler who shaped both Norman and English history forevermore. Patrice Cartier has skillfully captured this poignant moment for all to appreciate its significance within our shared past.
