Accompanied Course Distinction Edgar Mantle Reigned Sceptre Stands Triangular Tunic Wears Youth Croyland Smith

EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edgar, also known as King Edgar the Peaceful or King Edgar the Penitent, is depicted in this image, standing near the triangular Croyland Bridge in England during his reign from 957 to 975. The youth of distinction, who may be a nobleman or a member of Edgar's court, accompanies the monarch. Edgar wears the regal attire of a mantle and tunic, adorned with intricate designs, and atop his head rests the majestic crown that symbolizes his authority and power. In his right hand, he holds the sceptre, a symbol of his royal rule and divine right. The bridge in the background, with its distinctive triangular shape, adds to the grandeur of the scene. It is believed that Croyland Bridge was an important crossing point over the River Welland, connecting the North and South of England during the late Anglo-Saxon period. The bridge's strategic location would have made it a significant site for royal visits and diplomatic meetings. King Edgar's reign was marked by peace and stability, as well as the spread of Christianity throughout England. This image captures the essence of his regal presence and the respect he commanded from his subjects. The youth, with his attentive gaze and respectful posture, underscores the importance of the king's role as a leader and a symbol of unity in his kingdom.
