1403 1468 Comte Depicted Dunois Horseback Jeanne Orleans
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures Jean de Dunois, Comte de Dunois (1403-1468), a pivotal figure in French military history and a close associate of Joan of Arc. Born into the French nobility, Dunois distinguished himself on the battlefield from a young age, earning the moniker "the Bastard of Orléans" due to his illegitimate birth. During the Hundred Years War, Dunois fought alongside Joan of Arc during the Siege of Orléans, a turning point in the conflict between France and England. The successful relief of the city in 1429 is often attributed to their combined efforts. After Joan's capture by the Burgundians in 1430, Dunois continued to serve France, playing a crucial role in the final phases of the war. In this image, Dunois is depicted on horseback, clad in armor and brandishing a lance, exuding the confidence and determination of a seasoned warrior. His presence on the battlefield was a constant source of inspiration and hope for the French forces, who faced seemingly insurmountable odds against the English. The print, produced by Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of Jean de Dunois and his pivotal role in French military history. His association with Joan of Arc and the successful relief of Orléans are enduring symbols of French resilience and national pride.
