This print captures a significant moment in history - the capture of Infante Fernando of Portugal and his wife, Jeanne of Flanders. Taken prisoner by Louis VIII, the son of King Philippe Auguste, this event unfolded during the years 1375-1379. The illustration is sourced from the esteemed Grandes Chroniques de France, which can be found in the prestigious collection of Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. In this vivid depiction, we witness Infante Ferdinand and his new bride being held captive amidst a backdrop that exudes medieval charm. Mounted on majestic horses, they are surrounded by an entourage that includes horsemen and attendants on foot. The scene showcases intricate details such as their royal attire and regal palanquin. The image transports us back to the 14th century when kingdoms clashed for power and influence. It serves as a reminder of the political complexities that shaped Europe during this era.
