In the year 1477, Scotland witnessed an intriguing event in Craigmillar. It was here that the noble Frenchman, John V of BUEIL, formed a lasting bond with Vlad Tzepesch, also known as Vlad the Impaler. Their unlikely companionship would shape history in unforeseen ways. Meanwhile, across the English Channel, William Caxton introduced Edward IV to the revolutionary art of printing. In this captivating encounter between monarch and printer, Caxton unveiled a world of endless possibilities through his craft. Artistic endeavors flourished during this period too. Sandro B's masterpiece "Virgin Mary with Child and angels singing" captured hearts with its ethereal beauty in 1477. Across borders in Central Europe, Matthias Zell left an indelible mark on literature and theology. Amidst these cultural triumphs, Georg Potschner donned his suit of armor alongside his sons while Magdalena Potschner stood proudly surrounded by her seven daughters - a testament to their family's strength and unity. But perhaps one of the most significant events occurred within royal circles: The betrothal of Maximilian I and Mary, Duchess of Burgundy. This union marked a turning point for both regions as they embarked on a journey towards prosperity and power. As we reflect upon the year 1477 today, let us remember not only its historical significance but also celebrate those who shaped it – from noble companionships to artistic brilliance – leaving an enduring legacy for generations to come.
