The Burgundians, a historical group known for their significant impact on European history, have left an indelible mark through various events and conflicts. From the artistic portrayal of Edouard Vuillard's "The Lilacs" to engravings depicting the "Massacre of the Armagnacs by the Burgundians in Paris, 1418, " their presence is felt throughout time. One pivotal moment was captured in an illumination showcasing "The murder of John the Fearless Duke of Burgundy on September 10, 1419, on the bridge of Montereau. " This event not only altered political dynamics but also shaped future alliances and rivalries. Another notable encounter occurred during the Battle of Morat in 1476 when victory favored the Swiss over the Burgundians. This lithograph immortalizes this clash between two formidable forces and highlights Switzerland's triumph against their powerful adversaries. Joan of Arc's capture at the Siege of Compiegne in 1430 further exemplifies how influential these Burgundians were. The chromolitho capturing her imprisonment serves as a reminder that even legendary figures like Joan could fall victim to their strategic maneuvers. Amidst all these battles and sieges, architectural marvels such as Chateau de Pierrefonds stood tall. Its vibrant chromolitho representation showcases both grandeur and fortification—a testament to how deeply ingrained they were within society. Their tenacity is evident through depictions like "Siege of a Town defended by Charles VI" where they valiantly defend against opposing forces. These images demonstrate their unwavering determination to protect what they held dear. Jeanne Hachette emerges as another prominent figure associated with this era—her heroic actions during the Siege of Beauvais are commemorated in color lithographs. Her bravery symbolizes resistance against those who sought dominance over territories controlled by others. However, not all stories end triumphantly for them.
