EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century engraving depicts King Philip V of Spain (1683-1746) taking the oath of allegiance from the military orders of the Golden Fleece, Alcantara, and Calatrava. Born in Madrid as the eldest son of King Charles II of Spain, Philip ascended to the throne at the age of six upon his father's death in 1700. His reign marked the beginning of the House of Bourbon on the Spanish throne, following the War of the Spanish Succession. The image showcases the solemn moment of Philip's pledge of fidelity to the military orders, symbols of chivalry and obedience. The King, dressed in royal robes, holds a Bible in his left hand and raises his right hand towards the cross, signifying his commitment to uphold the values and principles of these esteemed institutions. The military orders of the Golden Fleece, Alcantara, and Calatrava were among the most prestigious and ancient organizations in the Spanish monarchy, and their allegiance was crucial for the stability and defense of the realm. The richly colored engraving captures the grandeur and historical significance of the event, as well as the importance of the monarch's relationship with the military orders during this period. The intricate details of the ornate robes, emblems, and surroundings further emphasize the ceremonial nature of the occasion and the deep-rooted traditions of the Spanish monarchy.
