"1337: A Journey through Art, History, and Royalty" Step back in time to the year 1337, a period marked by significant events and remarkable individuals. Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337), an influential Italian painter of the Renaissance era, left behind his artistic legacy with masterpieces like the Crucifix created in 1317. Meanwhile, at Poulton Priory in Gloucestershire, whispers of history echo as Charles V Le Sage (Wise), King of France contemplates his mortality. In this poignant moment between life and death during 1337-1380, he entrusts his family and kingdom to his brothers. Louis II of Bourbon (1337-1410) emerges on the scene as a prominent figure in Genoa. Tasked with leading the Mahdia expedition, he embarks on a journey that would shape both his destiny and that of countless others. The renowned chronicler Jean Froissart captures these extraordinary tales through words and brushstrokes alike. His works such as "Froissart / Presenting" and "Froissart / Thane" immortalize key moments from this era for generations to come. Intriguingly intertwined within this historical tapestry is Guillaume IV Hainault - a name resonating with power and influence during these times. The pages turn further as we witness a grand Historical Pageant unfold in Undercliffe, Yorkshire - bringing together stories from across centuries. As we delve into these glimpses of history from 1337 onwards, let us appreciate how art intertwines with politics, religion, war – shaping our understanding of humanity's past while inspiring future generations to explore their own narratives.
