Peter I, Duke of Brittany (1217-1250): A Medieval Portrait of Power and Pride This handcolored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," presents a captivating image of Peter I, Duke of Brittany, who ruled from 1213 until his untimely death in 1250. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the duke's regal attire, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the medieval period. The duke is depicted wearing a chainmail tunic, a protective layer of interlinked metal rings, which was a common choice for armor during this era. Over the chainmail, Peter wears a tunic with a richly embroidered blazon, displaying the coat of arms of Brittany – a black eagle on a golden background. The duke's belt, adorned with intricate patterns, holds his sword and a pair of spurs, symbolizing his readiness for both battle and horseback riding. Peter I was a significant figure during the Middle Ages, expanding the territories of Brittany and strengthening its independence from the French crown. His image, captured in this meticulously crafted engraving, embodies the power, pride, and fashion of the medieval nobility. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past.
