Her unwavering faith serves as a guiding light during these troubled times. The Siege of Duras in 1377 marks a significant event in the Hundred Years War. King Edward leads his forces against Reims, determined to claim victory and solidify his reign. The tension is palpable as both sides prepare for an epic clash. Amidst this turmoil, Guillaume de Pommiers meets a tragic fate through decapitation. The vivid chromolitho captures this gruesome moment, reminding us of the brutality that often accompanies power struggles. King Richard II emerges on the scene in 1377 through an engraving depicting him at a young age. His ascension to power brings hope and uncertainty alike - will he be able to navigate these treacherous waters? Edward III's life journey is etched onto engravings: born in 1312, crowned in 1327, and passing away in 1377. These images serve as reminders of his influential rule and its impact on medieval England. Statues within Westminster's New Palace stand tall; witnesses to the ever-changing political landscape surrounding them. They silently observe Richard II's coronation in 1377 before witnessing his untimely demise two decades later. Through RICHARD II / STRUTT and Edward III / Anon Oval Eng engravings adorned with inscriptions (colour litho), we delve deeper into their lives - their triumphs and tribulations shaping not only their destinies but also those around them.
