EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of British history, King Henry VI of England (1421-1471) is depicted in regal splendor as he exchanges vows with his bride, Marguerite of Anjou (1430-1482), in a grand and ornate ceremony. Henry, dressed in his royal robes and crowned, gazes tenderly at his new queen, who wears an elegant gown adorned with intricate embroidery and a diadem on her head. Surrounded by an assembly of nobles and clergymen, the newlyweds stand before an ornate altar, their hands joined in the sacred rite of matrimony. Henry VI's marriage to Marguerite of Anjou, which took place on May 21, 1445, was a significant event in the tumultuous history of the English monarchy. The union was intended to strengthen England's position in the ongoing Hundred Years War against France, as Marguerite was the daughter of René I, Duke of Anjou, and brought with her a substantial dowry and powerful alliances. However, the marriage would prove to be a source of conflict and instability, with Marguerite's strong-willed nature and political ambitions often clashing with the interests of the English nobility. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, the image of Henry and Marguerite's wedding day offers a moment of respite from the turmoil of the time, a testament to the enduring power of love and the grandeur of medieval royalty. This print, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, pageantry, and the intricacies of royal politics.
