EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as F. 188r Raoul, the son of the Duke of Burgundy, is crowned King of France. The image is taken from the Grandes Chroniques de France, a vellum manuscript dating back to 1375-79 and currently housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France. Raoul (c. 890- d. 936) belonged to the esteemed Robertian dynasty and served as Duke of Burgundy from 921-3 before ascending to become King of France from 923-36. Notably, he achieved a great victory over the Normans in 930. The scene depicted showcases an educational setting with bishops surrounding Raoul during his coronation ceremony. This composition suggests that this event was not only about power but also symbolized an important lesson or class on succession and crowning for both pupil and instructor alike. The intricate details captured by this French School's miniature painting highlight not only the historical significance but also provide insight into medieval education practices. The lecturn at which Raoul stands signifies knowledge and wisdom being imparted upon him by his teacher or mentor. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment where political power intersects with intellectual growth—a testament to both Raoul's royal lineage and his dedication to learning amidst turbulent times in medieval Europe.
