Death of Simon de Montfort, Battle of Evesham, Worcestershire, 1265 (1864). Simon de Montfort (1208-1265), 6th Earl of Leicester, was the leader of the English barons in their power struggle with King Henry III. Henry revoked his assent to the Provisions of Oxford in 1261, which led to a revolt by the barons, led by de Montfort, breaking out in 1263. The ensuing conflict, known as the Second Barons War, ended at Evesham in 1265, when de Montfort was defeated by a royalist army commanded by the kings son, Prince Edward, and killed

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by James William Edmund Doyle depicts the dramatic final moments of Simon de Montfort, the valiant leader of English barons during their power struggle with King Henry III. In this historical artwork from the 19th century, we witness a pivotal event in British history – the Battle of Evesham. Amidst a chaotic battlefield in Worcestershire, England, brave soldiers clad in armor engage in fierce combat. De Montfort's rebellion against Henry III and his revocation of the Provisions of Oxford have ignited a civil war known as the Second Barons War. The outcome hangs in balance as Prince Edward leads a royalist army against de Montfort's forces. In this scene frozen in time, we see de Montfort mounted on his horse, courageously fighting alongside his loyal men. His helmet gleams under the sunlight as he wields his sword with determination and valor. However, fate has other plans for him. As Prince Edward charges towards him on horseback with weapon raised high above his head, an air of inevitability surrounds them both. This climactic clash between two powerful figures will seal de Montfort's destiny forever. Doyle masterfully captures not only the intensity and violence but also highlights themes such as leadership and sacrifice that defined this tumultuous period in medieval England. Through this striking print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection emerges an enduring testament to one man's unwavering fight for justice amidst political turmoil and ultimately paying the ultimate price for it - death on a battlefield far from home.
