Crusaders Proclaiming Godfrey of Bouillon King of Jerusalem, 1890 - A Glimpse into Medieval History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 11th century, capturing a significant moment in history. The image depicts Crusaders gathered together, their arms raised in jubilation as they proclaim Godfrey of Bouillon as the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Godfrey of Bouillon, a Frankish knight and one of the leaders during the First Crusade, declined to be titled as king. He firmly believed that Jesus Christ was the true King of Jerusalem. This engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier offers a glimpse into this remarkable event. The composition showcases an indoor setting where these brave men gather around Godfrey. Their expressions reveal their admiration and respect for his leadership. With hand gestures and cheers, they celebrate his role as defender of the Holy Sepulcher and Duke of Lower Lorraine. This historic photograph not only captures a pivotal moment but also provides insight into medieval society. It highlights themes such as faith, loyalty, and devotion to Christianity during this tumultuous period marked by religious conflict. As we gaze upon this powerful image over a century later, it serves as a reminder that history is shaped by individuals who are willing to sacrifice for their beliefs. It invites us to reflect on our own convictions while appreciating those who came before us in shaping our world today.
