EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Peter III, King of Aragon, also known as Peter the Great, standing triumphantly atop the mountains of Col de Panissars (Las Panizas) in the Pyrenees, following his victory in the Battle of the Col de Panissars against Philip III of France in 1285. The mountain pass, a natural border between Spain and France, was a strategic location for the conflict between the two monarchs. Peter's resolute demeanor and regal attire, complete with a crown adorned with precious stones and a flowing red robe, exude confidence and determination. The rugged terrain and dramatic lighting further emphasize the king's strength and determination in the face of adversity. The Battle of the Col de Panissars marked a significant turning point in the 1280s, as Peter's victory solidified Aragon's position as a major power in the Mediterranean and secured its borders against French encroachment. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the medieval age and offers a glimpse into the life of a great king and his momentous achievements.
