Created by artist George Vertue in the 18th century, this image captures the essence of one of medieval England's most successful rulers. Edward III's reign spanned an impressive fifty years, beginning in 1327 when his father was deposed. His rule lasted until 1377 and was marked by significant historical events such as his declaration as the rightful heir to the French throne in 1337, which ignited the Hundred Years War. The photograph is a reproduction of an ancient painting found within Windsor Castle, adding to its historical significance.
