Hugh Capet, King of the Franks and founder of the Capetian Dynasty (c.941-996), is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard from the renowned French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days, published in Paris in 1834. The regal figure of Hugh Capet is shown wearing the traditional attire of the Frankish monarchs during the medieval period. He wears a tall, pointed crown adorned with precious stones and intricate designs, symbolizing his royal status and power. The king's tunic, made of rich fabric, is fitted at the waist with a wide belt, emphasizing his strong and athletic build. A long, flowing cape covers his shoulders, adding a sense of grandeur and majesty to his appearance. In his right hand, Hugh Capet holds the orb, a symbol of his sovereignty and divine right to rule. In his left hand, he raises the Hand of Justice, a symbol of impartiality and fairness, emphasizing his commitment to upholding the law and protecting his subjects. The Capetian Dynasty, which began with Hugh Capet's election as King of the Franks in 987, would go on to rule France for the next three centuries. This portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion and history of medieval Europe, showcasing the power and prestige of the Frankish monarchy during the Capetian era.
