EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Rescue of the Countess De Burgh, from Montgomery Castle, 1836" takes us back to a moment in history that may not have actually occurred. Created by an unknown artist and William Radclyffe, this engraving depicts a scene set in the 14th century. Intriguingly, it portrays Elizabeth de Burgh, the second wife and queen consort of King Robert I of Scotland. Historically known for her eight-year imprisonment at various English castles including Windsor and Rochester, there is no factual basis for her rescue from Montgomery Castle. Nonetheless, this conceptually rich artwork transports us into a world filled with bravery and chivalry. The image showcases a group of soldiers led by Robbie Bruce as they embark on a daring rescue operation to free the imprisoned countess. The fortification of Montgomery Castle looms ominously in the background while men strategize inside its walls. This Victorian-era print captures both the romanticized notions surrounding medieval times and the fascination with historical figures such as Queen Elizabeth de Burgh. It serves as a reminder of our enduring interest in tales of heroism and royal lineage. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece, we are transported back to an era where loyalty was tested against political turmoil. While historically inaccurate, this image invites us to imagine what could have been - an epic tale that never truly unfolded but continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
